This summer I’m planning to cycle 1,450 miles with my dad from home to Slovenia for charity. The charity we are raising money for is called the Children’s Bereavement Centre.

It’s a fantastic local charity that helps support children and their families affected by terminal illness, death or the divorce or separation of someone close.

I think it would be great if we could raise £5,000. It seems a lot but I think it’s do-able. 1p a mile would raise £14.50 and knowing how much I’m raising per mile will keep me going.

We aim to leave home in July, crossing the Channel at Harwich and cycle full length of the Rhine until we hit Basel in Switzerland. Then we turn left to go up and over the Alps.

You can visit my ‘Just Giving’ page at: http://www.justgiving.com/Felix-Leckie and give whatever you can.

Many thanks & best wishes
