<div>Over 300 miles and a stupid bike - what am I waiting for?
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Earlier this year I decided I wanted an adventure. If you know me you know I love walking, so usually I'd pick a trail and get out there. But after moving up to the Peak District I realised I had a bike in the garage at my Dad's on the south coast, and it just didn't feel right to drive and get a sustainable mode of transport.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>And so, here I go - homeward bound. </strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>On Monday 3rd October I'll be setting off to cycle the 320+ miles home. I'll be fundraising for two amazing charities that mean a lot to me, because if I'm going to do something this painful I definitely want to raise money at the same time. Find out more about why I'm supporting the <a href="https://www.thecalmzone.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Campaign Against Miserably</a> (CALM) and <a href="https://www.hphh.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">High Peak Homeless Help</a> below.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>And if that wasn't enough to make you donate...</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>...then let me tug on your heart strings some more. Life is tough right now. My personal life is taking a battering, so I haven't trained enough, I'm terrified of this stupid adventure I've set out to do, and I have no idea if I can do this. I'm pulling on all the mental strength I've built up over the years and decided to go ahead and do this, as I know the outdoors is what I need right now, but I know this is going to be physically, emotionally and mentally tough.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your sponsorship will keep me going as I cycle 320+ miles back home. If you live near New Mills in the High Peak you are welcome to join me for a pint at the Beer Shed on Thursday 13th October.
</div>

</div>
<div>Wish me luck.

<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Who I'm fundraising for:</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>As I give back wherever possible I've decided to fundraise too, splitting everything I raise between the <a href="https://www.thecalmzone.net/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Campaign Against Living Miserably</a> (aka CALM) and <a href="https://www.hphh.co.uk/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">High Peak Homeless Help</a>.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>CALM are a cause incredibly close to my heart, doing life-saving work around suicide prevention. Losing my partner in crime when I was 18 almost destroyed me, a trauma that still shapes who I am. 125 people a week in the UK take their lives, CALM work tirelessly to change that.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>And at the beginning of the pandemic I found myself a very privileged sort of homeless. After sub-letting the flat to go travelling just before lockdown suddenly I had nowhere to go. Moving between temporary places made me so grateful that I had the means to do that, as well as network of friends and family to lean on. I'll never take the roof over my head for granted again.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Others don't have that. High Peak Homeless Help give people in need a place to go, providing emergency accomodation through their volunteer network. It felt right to focus on my new community to give back in a way that made a difference.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>For both causes every penny counts, so whatever you can spare is so appreciated; thank you.
</div>
