There’s a number of reasons for my decision.

Firstly, it represents exactly 10 years since I completed my previous challenge https://bicycleacrossamerica.wordpress.com/

Secondly, COVID-19 has significantly impacted the valuable things I/we once took for granted including the freedom to travel and enjoy all the resulting experiences.

Thirdly, My professional circumstances have changed slightly and this has given me the opportunity and desire to do some good and raise much needed funds for worthy causes.

I’m trying to raise £5,000 to support 3 x charities close to my heart:

1. The Jess Mackie Memorial Fund

2. St. James’s Place Charitable Foundation

3. East Coast FM

I would be very grateful for any pledges of support you can give.

You can make a donation either by scanning the QR code on this page with your smart phone camera or clicking the JustGiving hyperlink below it. Both will take you to my crowdfunding page and all the funds raised will benefit from the gift-aid tax uplift on distribution.

I hope you can track my progress by following this daily blog (enter your e-mail address in the ‘Subscribe’ field on this Homepage) and I would love it if you provide me with regular encouragement, observations and support.

Thank you

Scott
