Sponsored bike ride for Start in Salford

Christine and Jen

We have exciting news for those who would like to sponsor and support their local charity (and maybe even take part themselves)!

Two fantastic women are planning and arranging a sponsored bike ride from Manchester to Blackpool all in the name of charity. Christine, previously a volunteer with Start, and Jen who has worked with Mencap alongside Christine, both wanted to support a charity that may slip under the radar of the general public, helping them to gain more awareness and revenue. Because of this (and Christine's time spent with us) they have chosen to raise money for Start in Salford and we are so thrilled that they have!

The bike ride is a one way journey of approximately 60 miles, leaving from Chorlton Library on Saturday 9th April at 8am. They will arrive at Blackpool Tower later in the day (not time specific as it is not a race and there will be plenty of opportunities to stop along the way).

We at Start will be providing T-Shirts for every rider and they will each become an honourary Friend of Start.

Christine and Jen will be staying overnight in Blackpool and recuperating with some well earned Fish and Chips (and maybe a drink or two) and will be getting the train back the next day. Accommodation overnight is optional and needs to be booked and paid for by the individual rider.

To sponsor Chistine and Jen you can do it online.
