Bishop's Stortford to Blackpool Cycle Ride June 2021
Gill cycled to her Blackpool conference to fundraise for the Fund for Human Need.
Gill's Coast to Coast Bike Ride - October 2019
Gill cycled The Via Beata (a new pilgrim route running across the
widest part of the country from Lowestoft to St David’s) as a fundraising project.
"I knew I couldn’t visit all the way stations – it would take
too long and it is designed as a walking route, but when our fundraising team
were thinking of ways to get cash for our Church Redevelopment project, I opened
my big mouth and volunteered myself for a C2C bike ride.
The sensible way would have been West to East, but the logistics of getting my bike on a train at the right time of day to get to Haverfordwest (the nearest large station to St David’s) defeated me, and I opted to start on the bit of the Via Beata I knew, and go Lowestoft to St David’s."
Gill thanks all who texted encouragement, prayed, sponsored and held her in God’s light. It was for her, a prayer journey, a time of acknowledging blessing on the Via Beata, giving thanks for those who blessed her, as well as raising money. The total pledged was around £4000. Amazing! 20% of this went to the charity Kickstart that operated from the church, helping people get back into work (no longer in existence), and the rest went to our redevelopment project that made all of the church premises accessible for all, including the provision of a Changing Places toilet for adults with special needs.
