in July, Wendy and her son Richard, joined 178 others to cycle from Brussels to
Greenwich - 300 miles in 3 days through 3 countries. As a
mature student she has also become a Student Ambassador
for the Right to Play given how she believes in
making a difference and
believes in the power of sport to help the most disadvantaged
children in the world. Formerly Olympic Aid, Right To Play is
one of the largest children and youth focused charities in the
world. At Right To Play they believe that sport and play can offer
children and youths better physical, social and emotional health.
Sport and play allow for young people to express themselves in a
safe and supportive environment where they can develop to their full
potential. Furthermore, the natural convening power of sport
serves to unite communities and reduce social tensions. To

Graeme Willgrass, is a Sustrans Ranger just over the border, next year (2011) will cycle 4000 miles around the mainland UK to raise money for the charity www.sustrans.org.uk. Sustrans have created 12,000 miles of National Cycle Network, one third of which is traffic free, enabling people of all ages and abilities to enjoy stress-free travel to work & school, as well as leisure activities in a peaceful ,low-carbon way. Why 'Cycle for Health'? Four years ago, Graeme suffered a major breakdown, losing everything in the process, including his teaching career. Very slowly, this is changing and are beginning to take effect. Exercise and cycling in particular are a big part of this. Graeme has always done lots between bouts of illness, but this is now part of managing and progressing his life. Mental health is still an area of great fear and stigma, but it needn't be. So, he has a plan (gulp!) for what will be the biggest adventure of his life. Please visit his Just Giving page and help him reach his target, email him or wave if you see a funny looking bike pulling a trailer as it will probably be Graeme., there are not too many people who use a trailer with a folding bike after all. He also has a blogspot at
