David Cycles End to End for Autism Anglia

On Friday 21st August, Colchester cyclist David Pomphrett will be getting his pedals ready to cycle from Lands End to John O’Groats – nearly 1000 miles from the most southern point of England to the northern tip of Scotland, all in aid of Autism Anglia.

David aims to raise thousands of pounds for the charity, which provides a range of services across East Anglia to enable people with autism to live as independently as possible and to experience choice and inclusion in society, as well as providing invaluable support for family and carers of people with autism.

David PomphrettDavid also hopes to raise the public’s awareness of autism and challenge misconceptions about the condition. After visiting Doucecroft School in Eight Ash Green, which is run by Autism Anglia, David was even more determined to do something to help.

He has found support for his efforts in a variety of places. Grant’s SEAT Garage in Braintree has offered to provide a back-up car free of charge (plus t-shirts, graphics and a full tank of diesel!), WRS are providing insurance for the trip and Holiday Inn have organised two night’s accommodation for David and his backup team en route.

Ipswich Building Society, PruProtect, Legal & General and HP Law have all given financial support too. If you would like to sponsor David’s trip, please visit his fundraising page online www.bmycharity.com/4wheelsandafuneraltour

If you want to know more about David’s trip he will be interviewed on BBC Essex Radio on 17th August at 10.40am to explain why he has set himself this challenge.
