We’re raising money for Bolton Lads & Girls Club (BLGC) a provider of targeted Youth Support services which has been providing this service now since 1889 across x4 facilities in the area, and whilst it may appear from the outside to be “just a Youth Club”, it really is so much more. No one foresaw COVID or the desperately sad war with Ukraine and could have known the adverse effects these happenings would have on all walks of society, impacts on our finances yes, but impact on our mental health, and especially amongst young people. Through this time, BLGC adapted to the conditions and whilst the club doors remained closed, the on-line offering continued. We cyclists are together taking on this challenge to raise money to support this wonderful and effective charity, ok and have a bit of fun…and Italian patisserie!
we are embarking on a Challenge ride to Italy where we will take on x2 of cycling classic monuments (Il Lombadia and Milan San Remo) as well as some of the biggest mountains in the area (Col de Bonnet) and for 8 days put ourselves in “the hurt locker” in the hope that it will encourage you to support the ride, by supporting the club . As always, we pay for everything ourselves so you know that every penny you donate goes directly to BLGC. Our Just giving page is here – https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/blgcitalianclassics
