I'm fundraising for...

Quintessentially Foundation is a charitable foundation set up to tackle child poverty and the limitations it places on the futures of children and young people. They do this by finding, funding and supporting small frontline charities well-positioned to make a big difference. Small frontline charities have some of the best solutions to society's biggest problems. However, they are often overlooked and underfunded. So, through Quintessentially Foundation’s flagship programme, ‘The Firefly Project', they scale their charity partners’ successful interventions for young people, tackling child poverty in all forms, by providing the charities with:

  • Unrestricted funding - so that our partner charities can invest in increasing their internal capacity and prepare for growth. 
  • Tailored organisational support – ensuring they develop the proper infrastructure for their model to increase the number of young people they support and optimise the quality of their impact. 
  • Untapped networks and connections – so that they can have more supporters amplifying their cause and, most notably so that they can continue to grow sustainably once our funding ends

To find out more information about The Firefly Project, please visit the Quintessentially Foundation website here.

I did say no accidents yet but…..

Tuesday 26th May
……was hit by a motorcycle on Sunday at about 50kph, somehow came away with just a scratch on my elbow and a sore butt…..miracle. I did get to ride in an ambulance….

Why Now?

Wednesday 13th May
Two weeks ago Sebastian told me that after 10 years of not managing to do the Quintissentially Bike Tour, this was the year I had no excuse, given it was passing by Milan.

So with 5 weeks to go, I got on my first racing bike in 10 years, didn’t have a serious accident, and started to work it out. 

Two weeks of training, I’ve now broken 3 personal best’s in 3 rides and have another 4 weeks to prepare!

Wish me luck…..
