Taking Time Out to Cycle for Others

Yes, we made it...54 miles from London to Brighton in under 6 hours, graced with beautiful sunshine and amazing team spirit.  But the best part of the day wasn't actually reaching the finish line... it was witnessing the 4,000+ other riders who took time out of their lives to support a cause they believed in.  Their efforts and the variety of charities represented was inspiring.  Credit is also due to the organisers Skyline, who seemed to manage the mind-boggling logistics with ease.
The feeling of "I'm doing this in memory of my mother, my father, a friend, or for those less fortunate than me” was present throughout.  Riders were good spirited, even when vying for a lane through the traffic or on the wrong end of an accident!  Our training paid off as we passed a number of younger riders, especially up the hills and over the South Downs!  Having said that, our son Zach (perhaps the youngest of the day’s riders) somehow managed to pull away from his parents all too easily despite much less training; such is youth.
​
A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF OUR DONORS!   With your help we reached our £2,000 ($3,250) target! Without YOUR SUPPORT we would not have been able to experience such a heartening event and the warmth of knowing that we have enhanced the chances for a street child in Uganda to forge a better path in life through education.

With appreciation!

Christine, Tom & Zach
