There are people in our communities passionate about making a difference.
I am fortunate enough to get to meet so many of them in my line of work.

Let me explain.

On June 6, Joe Williams, Leah Ravuoco and Sophie Thomas will be travelling up to Llandudno in readiness for a 309 mile bike ride, which will hug the Welsh Coast all the way back to Llanelli.

With an elevation gain of 20,791ft through the hills, the first leg of their ride will be approximately 130 miles before they can get some sleep, ready for the remaining miles on Sunday.

They did ask me to join them, but my cycle shorts are in the wash.

This intrepid trio are raising money for the Jacob Abraham Foundation in aid of suicide awareness.  Both Joe and the girls want to raise awareness about male suicide, each one of them being personally affected, having lost a loved one, friend or colleague.

The money raised will go towards providing suicide prevention and intervention training, helping to give support quickly to those who in need of it.  It’s giving me saddle sores just thinking about the miles they will cycle. Well done guys – and good luck!
