🚴♂️ Gav Speed's Incredible Cycling Challenges for Prostate Cancer UK! 🚴♂️
In 2024, Gav Speed is taking on three monumental cycling challenges to raise as much money as possible for Prostate Cancer UK, and he needs your support!
Challenge One: A grueling 200-mile ride in one day across North Wales. The route includes a loop through Bangor, Caernarfon, Porthmadog, Bala, Corwen, Llangollen, and back home via Ellesmere. 🚴♂️🌄
Challenge Two: A demanding 24-hour ride, with the route still to be finalized but planned to be local to ensure quick access for food and breaks. Gav aims to stay in the saddle for a full 24 hours! ⏳
Challenge Three: Joining forces with Mark Musgrove for the "Ride Across Britain"—a ride from Lands End to John O'Groats. Starting on September 7th, they’ll complete an average of 105 miles per day over 9 consecutive days, finishing on September 15th. 🇬🇧🚴♂️
Prostate cancer affects 1 in 8 men in the UK—fathers, grandfathers, partners, brothers, uncles, sons, and friends. Your support and donations will help fund vital research into better tests and treatments.
Catch Gav’s recent interview on BBC Radio Shropshire from when he passed through Whitchurch yesterday and met some of the football team he coaches for more details!
Let's rally behind Gav and make a difference together! 🌟
We are thrilled to announce that the Astro Pitch has officially been handed over from the contractors following a complete turf and shock pad replacement! 🙌
This fantastic project was made possible thanks to the generous funding secured from Whitchurch Town Council, Shropshire Council, Whitchurch 10k, Whitchurch Hockey Club, and the Frank Greaves Legacy Fund.
Last week, local mayor Andy Hall came by to check on progress, we are so grateful for Andy's support. Today, we’re excited to share the official handover photo...more to follow when it stops raining📸
Hayley Alldridge, Director of Marketing and Communications comments: "The transformation of our Astro Pitch is a fantastic achievement for the whole community. We are incredibly grateful to everyone who supported this project, and we can't wait to see our students thrive in this new, state-of-the-art facility."
This upgraded facility will benefit our students, staff, and the wider community, supporting sports development at SJT!
