Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am hoping to raise money to support the Farriers Foundation Charity which helps to raise funds in an effort to help farriers and their family's in cIrcumstances that have lead to a them being unable to work due to illness or injury. 

Farriers are a unique type which I have found are exceptional at coming together to help one another in times of need. Myself and a bunch of other farriers are hoping to ride our bikes across the country on the 29th and the 30th of July to raise funds and awareness for a charity close to my heart which was set up by a farrier, Jonathan Nunn Awcf and his wife Sara Nunn. 

Jon is one of the farriers partaking in the ride and happens to be my old boss, an inspiring man and a fantastic teacher. Although I am extremely grateful for everything he has done for me, including training me to become the farrier I am today.....I cannot let him beat me! I'll never live it down. 

So I am working hard to get in shape for a 145 mile bike ride across Britain from the Yorkshire Dales to Sandsend on the coast.....and I'm going to beat my old boss Jon (unless he cheats)! 

Please donate if you can to help me to raise money for a brilliant charity. I'll be posting photos and videos of my progress on Facebook so keep an eye on me as this is bound to be a challenge that won't be easy and there's likely to be a lot of suffering! 

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Wish me Luck!
