YFC Charity Bike Ride

South West Three Peaks - From a Willy to a Beacon

Withlejgh YFC have decided to go the extra mile (110 extra miles to be precise) to raise money for this year’s chosen charity: PAPYRUS UK. Our mission is to go ‘From a Willy to a Beacon’ in 2 days; we’ll go from the highest point in Bodmin - Brown Willy - to the highest point in Devon - High Willhayes - to the highest point in Somerset - Dunkery Beacon..... but to add to our random idea, we’ll be doing it on tandems!

Seems as last year was a write-off in every aspect, we wanted to do something big and bold to get back into the spirit of our fundraising mission. PAPYRUS UK is a charity close to our hearts which aids the prevention of suicide in young people. We hope that, by enduring this long physically and mentally challenging cycle (which promises to be a bag of laughs on the way.... and a few aches and pains!) we can raise lots of money for a worthy cause that is PAPYRUS UK.

Our theory of ‘go big or go home’ has got a keen group of us Young Farmers to do something not many people would have ever thought about doing before; so if you’re feeling generous and would like to support our chosen charity, any donations would be very gratefully received. We will be keeping you posted with all the latest updates on our journey and hope that you will help us in supporting this wonderful charity. Thank you in advance for all your support - it’ll keep our pedals turning and the charity’s work going!

Do you want to join me in making a difference? I'm raising money in aid of Papyrus Prevention of Young Suicide and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to me.

More information about Papyrus Prevention of Young Suicide: PAPYRUS is the national charity dedicated to the prevention of young suicide in the UK. Suicide is the biggest killer of young people under the age of 35 in the UK. We believe that everyone can play a role in suicide prevention and we work towards a society which speaks openly about suicide and has the resources to save young lives.
