Giving Tuesday We have had Black Friday, which seemed to last a whole month, everywhere you looked there were messages telling you how much you could save. And still they go on. It’s Time to flip that on its head. Life is enriched not by having but giving. For me, Happiness and a meaning to life comes from giving to others, especially those less fortunate than oneself. This is the point of Giving Tuesday. Many charities need you. You can always find one that sparks a real meaning for you. They come in all shapes and sizes, for a huge range of causes. Giving doesn’t just mean money. You can give your time, your energy, or simply your voice to spread awareness. Your support is what they need. One charity I support is Ride For Freedom – A charity that supports survivors of modern slavery. Follow the link here to find out more. https://lnkd.in/eMUEtXpG The weekend of Friday December 1st to Sunday December 3rd is their annual Cycle Revolution event. Lots of people around the country are doing various events to raise funds for their Freewheel programme. The programme supplies cycles to survivors of human trafficking and modern slavery. The aim for the weekend is to supply 200 bikes for the programme. The event page is here https://lnkd.in/e6bDefE5 I am doing my bit for the cause by giving my time and energy over the weekend. On Saturday 2nd December I will be attempting to complete the vEveresting challenge. Riding on Zwift for repeats of the virtual Alpe D’Zwift climb until I reach the equivalent of the height of Mount Everest, 8848 metres of climbing, approximately 9 ascents of the Alpe. On Sunday morning 9am, I will be leading a one hour social ride around a flat course in virtual London on Zwift with Gordon Miller, CEO of Ride For Freedom. This ride is a great opportunity to ride at a social pace and chat on Discord with fellow Zwifters. With Zwift’s magic band function keeping everyone together regardless of power, its the perfect club ride. Opportunities to join me on Saturday exist throughout the day. If you use Zwift and want to ride even a small section of the Alp with me, I would be very grateful of the company. To join, first make sure you are following me on Zwift. My Zwift name is F rosty the snowbear (just search for Snowbear and you should find me). Then use the Ride with a Zwifter option on your home screen and select my name. It will take me at least 12 hours to do this so plenty of opportunity to find me whatever time you are free, your support on the day will be very welcome. Donation page for Ride For Freedom Cycle Event is here https://lnkd.in/eCKCATvQ Please give whatever you can, time, energy, voice or money. Please share this post to add your voice to the cause. #RideForFreedom #Charity #GivingTuesday #ZWIFT #vEveresting #CycleRevolution #EndModernSlavery #Freewheel #ShowARedCard #donatenow #pedalforchange #abolitionofslavery #socialimpact

An August Challenge for you🚴🏽♀️ You can either walk, run or wheel 31 miles (1 mile per day) in August. For wheelchair users, you can use your wheelchair or an adaptive cycle🤗 We know that 31 miles is a big ask for anyone, that’s why there’s plenty of flexibility in this challenge, as we’ve tried to make it as accessible as possible. You decide how you reach your mileage💙 Adaptive cycles can be anything from a fixed wheel tricycle, to a handcycle, to an electric assisted wheelchair transporter. This will all depend on an individuals’ circumstance and what they know is achievable for them. Miles can be counted whether it’s a set cycle session or you’re using your wheelchair to commute. You set up a fundraising page, count your miles and get some lovely people to sponsor you for Seashell🥰 Wheels For All are a brilliant organisation that host community sessions you can join, where they have access to cycles like this 🙌🏼 At Seashell, we also have these cycles that you can use on our inclusive cycle track🚴🏽♀️🚴🏼 Once you sign up for the challenge, you can see more information and can join a Facebook group for your specific challenge. This will include access to a training sheet, which will include lots of handy tips📝 Any questions - feel free to drop me a message.
We've launched our new CHALLENGE 31 and we need you to get involved. Throughout August we're asking Seashell supporters to Run 31, Walk 31 or Wheel 31 during the 31 days in August. This means committing to running 31 miles, walking 10,000 steps every day (adding up to 310,000 steps for the month) or completing 31 miles in your wheelchair. However you choose to do Challenge 31, we have advice and support to get you over the finish line. Sign up now! Run 31: https://lnkd.in/eb8K6zcS Walk 31: https://lnkd.in/eKEdsM3B Wheel 31: https://lnkd.in/e8PC7DRG Or if you need more info first, click here: https://lnkd.in/ek2-c8ps

This video almost had me in tears. How dare anyone or any society give girls the impression they are less. One of the reasons I love being a Firefighter is to extinguish this ‘Dream Gap’. Not just for little girls, but also to show little boys that girls can do anything. Changing the narrative must start young. Last year I went to an incident where I was the only female firefighter on scene with four trucks (and about 20 men). Some members of the public gathered nearby, drawn by the flashing lights and hive of activity. There was a little girl, perhaps 5, standing by watching us intently with her mother, who was telling her “look at all the firemen!” I wanted this little girl to see that one day, she could be me. I said hello and explained what we were doing and invited her to ask questions. Her eyes lit up, she smiled and said excitedly - ‘Mummy, mummy - it’s a girl firefighter, I can be one too!’ The profound deeper meaning of her words was a moment I will never forget. This is the reason why I love community events. Driving the trucks. Speaking with bystanders. We are firefighters, not firemen. If I’ve inspired even one little girl to challenge that #DreamGap and reach for the stars, then I think I’ve accomplished something good in life. #firefighter #countryfireauthority #CFA #volunteer #volunteering #volunteerfirefighter #equity #barbie #dreamgap #dreamgapproject #genderequity #genderbias #unconsciousbias
