This September, I'm taking on the challenge of a lifetime: cycling 233 miles from Florence to Rome in just three days, starting on 26th September 2025, in aid of Sporting Family Change (SFC).

SFC is a local charity (based in Bath and the surrounding area) that uses sport to empower, inspire and motivate young people and families to make positive long-term lifestyle changes. SFC don't use sports in conventional or meaningless ways - they use it as a lifeline, a source of hope, and a way to bring people together during their most challenging moments.

My family and I have experienced SFC's impact first-hand! In secondary school, I felt unmotivated and overwhelmed. That changed when I was introduced to SFC's mentoring programme, where I was supported through weekly gym sessions. These sessions helped me build resilience and manage my emotions through physical activity. I am positive that this helped me shape who I am today!

SFC has also brought my family together through sport. We've taken part in runs, gym sessions and sporting challenges together. I have also had the privilege of watching my mum conquer many major sporting events such as the Paris and New York Half Marathon alongside the charity... But! Now it is my time to shine and take on this challenge!!

This is something I've never done before!! Before signing up, I'd never ridden a road bike and wasn't confident cycling on the road alone. So this challenge is huge! The training has taken me out of my comfort zone and shown me new places on my doorstep and further afield!

I'm so proud to take part in this challenge for SFC, alongside an inspiring team!
