Here at Thomley we are always amazed at the challenges people set themselves and very grateful for the generosity of people who chose to raise money for Thomley at the same time.
Anthony Livingstone is taking part in The Ride Across Britain (www.rideacrossbritain.com) which takes place over nine days. He will be following the route from John O’Groats to Land’s End and cycling a mammoth distance of 115 miles a day! His first ride starts at the crack of dawn on Saturday 12th June in Scotland, and finishes with a well deserved party on Sunday 20th June in Cornwall – a chance for all the riders to pat themselves on the back and celebrate crossing the finish line!
Anthony has set up a Just Giving page and is hoping to raise lots of money for Thomley while taking part in a truly incredible endurance event.
“Many people have been kind enough to ask if I’m raising money and to offer to sponsor me, so it seems a shame to let the opportunity to pass by without helping a worthy cause. After some thought I have decided to raise money for Thomley Activity Centre, a recreational facility for disabled children and their families located quite close to where we live in Oakley. When Jane and I were in Ealing we lived next door to a lady who was bringing up on her own a teenage boy who was severely autistic, and we saw at fairly close quarters just how challenging life can be for families in those circumstances.” – Anthony Livingstone
