Paris to Baglan bike ride

Donation protected
So here I go again on May 12th 2025 with another bike ride, but this one is bigger again. I will be riding my mountain bike from Paris, France to Baglan Port Talbot, South Wales. Over 400 miles of riding!!! I will be riding day and night to get back over and it is all for an amazing cause and I am doing this in memory of one of my best friends Ryan Lewis (pictured next to me in photo) and to all those out there who have taken their own lives due to mental health.

MIND is a charity who specialise in helping people who struggle with mental health, which is a big topic that doesn't get talked about enough and it should be. In 2014 I had lost one of my bestest friends who sadly took his own life due to mental health and a few months later I had lost my grandad to dementia so my mental health wasn't great either after that. So for me, mental health is one of the biggest things and is super important and I just want to help raise awareness of how important it is, so for Charities who help with mental health holds a great deal in my heart and I just want to do something on my part to help in anyway I can.

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of NEATH PORT TALBOT MIND ASSOCIATION and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

Feel free to watch my progress on my Facebook which will be public while I'm riding home or if your really up to it, come and ride with me, weather it's only down the road or a few miles if you manage to see me or wave or beep, anyway you can show your support and to give me that extra boost I would really appreciate it as it will be needed. Feel free to join us back at Baglan rugby club in Baglan Port Talbot to show your support and we will also raise a glass in memory of all those who have taken their lives and to help raise awareness for mental health.

Share this far and wide if you could and let's raise as much money and awareness as we possibly can!!!
Thank you
