We support National Family Week!

At the end of May this year, the country’s second-ever National Family Week will take place, encouraging people across the country to celebrate being part of a family, whatever shape or size.

National Family Week aims to highlight the important role families play in society and encourage healthy active lifestyles and quality family time. National Family Week is the largest coalition on family issues and is backed by all the major political parties and a huge range of national charities, local authorities, community groups, visitor attractions and sporting associations plus a whole host of celebrities.

For further information on the plans for The Week, visit the National Family Week website at www.nationalfamilyweek.co.uk

Jim Rees achieved two incredible cycling feats at the Cycle Show (8-11 October). The Bedfordshire man, who has already ridden 3000 miles across America in aid of the Foundation, set a new 24hour static cycling world record on the Wattbike, and then went on to complete 1000miles of cycling during the four day show at Earls Court. He accepted the Cycle Show challenge just weeks ago, but amassed a huge total of 448.76miles in 24hours. He raised a fantastic £235.52 for the Foundation! Many thanks Jim!
