Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Firstly, my task involves cycling from Southport to Hornsea along the Trans Pennine Trail, which in total is around 215 miles! I plan to start on friday 13th July, setting off as the sun rises and finishing within 48 hours!

The motivation behind my decision to take on the Coast to Coast challenge comes from my own experience as a young cricketer. I have represented my local club, Kexborough CC, since the age of 10. After the resurgence of the junior section a few years ago, i now take on a lead coaching role and would like to enhance the playing experience of the children i now coach.

With the money i raise, the YCF will donate 100% back into the local community to help fund the purchase of a new scoreboard at Kexborough Cricket Club. The 20 year old wooden shed and sheets of tin hanging from rusty nails are well past their sell-by date, not to mention being a potential health hazard and eye sore!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Please give generously and consider the impact this could have on the childrens playing experience now, and in the many years to come!

Thank you!
