I'm cycling 40 miles to raise money for the charity I work for: Southside Young Leaders' Academy. They help black boys who are at risk of exclusion to see and build their leadership potential. Its a great charity, look it up: http://www.syla.org.uk/
The money will be used to buy literacy resources to help these boys re-engage with education and progress academically. This explains some more: https://localgiving.com/appeal/thebigliteracyproject2015
So gees a wee sponsor and I'll work my hardest to survive the cycle and use the literacy resources well!
