My 90 mile charity bike ride

Post by Adam_major1 » Sun Nov 19, 2017 1:51 pm

Hello all,

I'm raising money for The Bradley Lowery Foundation, Sporting Memories and Burnley FC In The Community by cycling 90 miles (145km) across the country on the 13th May from my local club Scunthorpe Utd to Turf Moor ahead of the Bournemouth match.

My just giving page has been a real slow burner so far donations wise, any donations at all are great appreciated!

Thank you!

sounds great. are you a burnley fan? with this being your very first post i think some on here might just think that this could be a scam. might be an idea to convince people this is genuine. just a thought.

Seen you around twitter a lot and its great what you are doing. I'd encourage everyone here to get donating as its for three brilliant charities and I know for sure I wouldn't be able to cycle 90 miles

In all seriousness, four weekend rides of 25, 45, 65, 85 miles and you'll be there.

Thats what I did anyway when I did 100 miles for my kids school a couple of years ago.

Thank You!

I've got £60 so far but I'm trying to raise £3000 (£1000 for each). I'm a long way off but there still 5 and bit months to go. I worked it out and If 1 in every 8 fans inside turf moor donated £1 I'd reach over £3000 in no time!
