Stay At Home Bike Challenge
Donation protected
We are faced with challenging times at the moment, with a lot of uncertainty and worry for many of us. Now is a time to come together and help support members in our society that need it. With this in mind, we wanted to make our own contribution in tackling the repercussions of this devastating virus.
We (Amy Turner) and (Angharad James) are both professional footballers at Manchester United and Reading respectively. On Friday 1st May 2020, we will be completing a ‘stay at home bike challenge’ that will consist of cycling the distance from Sheffield (Amy’s hometown) to Pembrokeshire (Angharad’s hometown) in less than 24 hours.
Together this will be a total of 383km. We are not expert cyclists by any means and probably don’t know what we are letting ourselves in for but we are determined to help make a difference. In the absence of fixtures at the moment, we will be completing 90-minute relays each throughout the ride to replicate the duration of matches,
We are hoping to raise a significant amount of money for two charities in Sheffield; IDAS (Independent Domestic Abuse Services) and The Hub Food Bank. And two charities from Pembrokeshire; GTBAL (Get the boys a lift) and Cardigan Food Bank.
IDAS is a specialist charity in Yorkshire supporting anyone who has experience of or is affected by domestic abuse and/or sexual violence. The Hub Food Bank and Cardigan Food Bank supply urgent food for families in crisis. GTBAL is a community-based charity that supports those dealing with mental health issues.
All four charities are organisations that are very close to our hearts and are in need of support in these difficult times. All contributions made will make a huge difference and will go a long way in helping lots of people in our hometowns and surrounding areas.
We would like to take this opportunity to thank you all for your donations, and TOGETHER we can help tackle this.
