Those who can see beyond my cunning disguise will know me as Craig Dearden-Phillips. From Aug 20-24 I am going to ride from Paris out to Brest on the Atlantic Coast and back again on a bike. So far so 'boring charity ride', I hear you thinking. Oh no, not this one. There is a catch. I have to do this inside 90 hours. Which means, basically, not stopping except to eat, pee and grab the odd wink of sleep in a hedge. Thousands start this but hundreds do not finish and only those who can suffer get to the end. Happily I am one of them. But, you don't need to suffer in order to help me - you sponsorship will be enough.

Let me tell you why I am doing this. I am aiming to raise money for vital therapeutic work with long-term offenders after release. These are men and women whose lives have gone wrong and led to them to prison. When they come out, they have very little and need urgent help to get their lives on track. In HM Pasties Ltd, we take people on but many need counselling, therapy or support around substance misuse. Your donation will help bring a person nearer to the life they need and deserve. So PLEASE sponsor me today.
