"Last summer I started riding my bike longer distances than I was used to so I could try and raise money for the NHS. I managed to make over £2,000 which I was proud of. When my Grandad told me that his village was trying to raise funds to refurbish Snitterfield Village Hall, especially the disabled toilets, I decided it was time to get back on two wheels and ride longer distances than I ever have done to see if I could raise some money to help out.
I set myself a goal of riding 45 miles in two weeks. When I decided to do this, I hadn’t thought about the weather. There’s been rain, sleet, wind, occasional snow and freezing temperatures. This has made pedalling really hard, but I’ve enjoyed seeing Warwick and Leamington on a bike rather than from a car window. I also managed to visit our school on my travels!
Today I managed to complete my challenge and I am pleased to say I have raised enough money to refurbish the disabled toilets. What this has taught me is when you set yourself a challenge, be determined to complete it. Some days I could have easily stayed in bed!"
