The 1000 Mile Bike Ride and ‘Paintathon’ Fundraising event

In September 2010 I will be cycling with Gregg Brown from John O’Groats to Folkestone to raise money for The Church Street Project, a registered charity based in Folkestone and providers of Creative Therapy and Therapeutic Counselling to young people in Shepway. I will be producing artwork along the way to be auctioned off for the charity on our return.

We will be setting off from John O’Groats on September 8th and hope to reach Folkestone’s sunny shores on Saturday September 25th. If you would like to come to the arrival party and auction please email me for an invitation.

We have set up a ‘Just Giving’ account and encourage you to visit it! 100% of money pledged will go direct to the charity.

For more information about The Church Street Project and to see why it is worth supporting please visit their website www.churchstreetproject.co.uk

If you would like to see how we are doing/struggling along the way follow us on Facebook or Twitter or Destination Folkestone Website.

We would like to thank the following organisations and individuals for their help:

CREATED – for setting up a website for the Church Street Project, and for designing all the relevant charity pages on my site (including this one!)

Folkestone Town Council – for helping us with the costs for the journey

Hayne Barn Tennis – for helping us to replace our former rust bucket bicycles with ones which should go the distance

Robinson Studios – for printing our T-Shirts

Shake Shed – For funding our fruit and juice along the way!
