Hello! My name is Charles Patrick Murphy. Recently I made the decision to bike around France in order to raise money for the Abbey of Ourscamp. As a francophile, this fundraiser gives me the opportunity to pay homage to France and to the monastic communities who have been integral to french society for over 1,500 years.
Living in Picardie I have been blessed with the opportunity to interact with the brothers from Ourscamp Abbey. These men have shown a great kindness to me and countless others in the community.
100% of the donations will go towards helping with community outreach and renovations to the 12th century Cistercian abbey.
I will be leaving at the beginning of August and giving updates throughout my trip on social media. They can be accessed with these links:
