Hello St Werburghs community! As a proud father of two children at the school, I am incredibly excited to share a major personal challenge I’m taking on this summer to support our kids.
On June 26th, I’ll be setting off alongside four good friends—David, Tom Hamilton, Jamie and Ant—to cycle from Land’s End to John O'Groats. We will be pedaling the entire length of the UK over just eight days, finishing in Scotland on July 4th. It is going to be a massive test of endurance; we’ll be covering roughly 1,461 kilometers and tackling over 12,500 meters of climbing. That means we'll be spending long hours in the saddle, averaging over 180 kilometers every single day.
I am dedicating this grueling journey to two causes close to my heart: Macmillan Cancer Support and St Werburghs Primary School. St Werburghs is such a wonderful community, and I am very hopeful that through this ride, I can raise some crucial cash to support the school and benefit all our children.
Any donation, big or small, would mean the world to me and will undoubtedly give me the motivation I need to keep pushing up those endless hills. Thank you for your support!

I Made it !!
Good afternoon everyone,
It has been almost a week since I finally cycled into John o'Groats (a place famously named after a Dutch ferryman from years gone by!). I can confirm that I did indeed celebrate with a plate of traditional Haggis upon arrival, and true to the sheer exhaustion of the journey, I was fast asleep by 10:00 PM! I was incredibly tired, but deeply, deeply proud.
However, nothing made me prouder than seeing the incredible total we have raised together. Thanks to your amazing generosity, we have hit a phenomenal milestone. I am reliably told that £600 is enough to fully fund two entire year groups' worth of school trips—whether that’s an inspiring day at the Old Vic, exploring the outdoors at Forest School, or learning about civic life at the City Council Chambers. Our school is such a wonderful reflection of our community, and I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to give a little something back.
Finally, I want to say a massive, heartfelt thank you to absolutely everyone. Whether you donated, followed along with these updates, or just spared a thought for me while I was out on the road—you are all phenomenal.
Thank you all so much,
P.S. - Thank you to Emma , Arthur and Iris, you guys were incredible, and comiong home was the best part of the journey.
