Serocee's Ride Of A Lifetime
Donation protected
I want to start by saying thank you for stopping on this page.
I am trying to raise as much money as possible for three causes that are extremely close to my heart, these causes are of equal importance to me and hopefully you can help me to do my best and make some great donations but remember every penny counts so whatever you give will be appreciated.
Who am I?
My name is Serocee @serocee & @icucfitness on social media, I am a musician and personal trainer having shed around 7st in 4 months between December 2019 and April 2020.
The funds raised will be donated to the following charities & causes.
YOUNG MINDS:
The tragic death of Richard Okorogheye really highlighted the importance of mental health with young people and whilst the TV and mainstream media continue to focus on the elderly, no one is really talking about the impact of Covid and ultimately Lockdown on young people. Young people in the UK and worldwide need to be supported through these times. Suicide rates in children and young adults (10-24 year olds) have increased at a massive rate throughout the pandemic. Young Minds have been doing some great work with young people in providing much needed support with Mental Health. Their vision is "A world where no young person feels alone with their mental health".
Their mission is "To make sure all young people can get the mental health support they need, when they need it, no matter what."
ICAN.ORG
10% of all children and young people in the UK – more than 1.4 million - have speech, language and communication needs (SLCN). The challenge is even greater in deprived areas, where more than 50% of children have delayed language. A lack of knowledge and resources means that too many children and young people with SLCN don’t receive enough appropriate support. This affects their educational outcomes, their employability and their health and wellbeing. This means the world to me as I know a three year old who could do with as much help and support as possible and obviously so could his parents."I Can's" programmes help children develop speech, language and communications skills they can use for the rest of their lives, so as you see, the service they provide to the community is invaluable.
St Vincent & The Grenadines
On the 9th April the La Soufriere volcano erupted in St Vincent, homes, crops and water supplies have also been destroyed or contaminated on the island, more than 15000 people have been displaced and whilst the world is trying to help now, we know this devastation will take years if not, decades to rebuild. This is a place I personally know people from, a place I personally have visited, a beautiful Island with wonderful people who welcomed me with open arms so, of course I want to do whatever I possibly can to lend a helping hand, the money raised will go some way to helping people with basic necessities.
What will I actually be doing?
I intend to cycle the length of the UK (John O Groats to Lands End) via most of the major cities (Inverness, Edinburgh, Newcastle, Leeds, Huddersfield, Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, London, Exeter) approximately 1200 miles, this will take me anywhere between 10 - 20 days to complete, dependent on natural and mechanical factors. I intend to stay in hotels and B&B's where possible but I may need to camp out also, this will be entirely self funded so the monies I raise will be for the causes previously mentioned.
As I said before every little helps so please donate and help me, help others.
Thank you
