Le Loop - supporting the William Wates Memorial Trust
I am endeavouring to ride 3 stages of the Tour de France from 10th-12th July. It will 502kms of riding with 10,000m of elevation. It will not be easy.
One of the requirements is to raising funds for the William Wates Memorial Trust (WWMT). The fundraised money is entirely separate from the participation fee - donations do not pay for my Tour.
All monies raised go directly to the William Wates Memorial Trust whose mission is to help the most disadvantaged young people keep away from a life of crime and violence and fulfil their potential. This is achieved by giving grants to charities that engage young people through the medium of sports, arts and education.
It's been a tough couple of years for charities and particularly for young people. This is my chance to give something back and help support young people who aren't lucky enough to enjoy the advantages in life that most of us take for granted.
Le Loop is no small undertaking. Riding even ONE stage of the Tour de France route is going to hurt! Please reward my pain by giving generously.
Thank you for anything that you are willing to give for a series of great charities supporting young people.
Thank you for any donation however large or small, it is hugely appreciated.
