'If you think you can, you will!' 🚴✨ This month, Christopher Blackburn, Head of Corporate Social Responsibility, conquered the picturesque yet arduous terrain of Mallorca. Not a journey for the faint-hearted: 3 days, 8 gruelling hours, a staggering 98.3 miles with 5,113 feet of ascent. The wheels of progress keep spinning as Chris now prepares for the mammoth 'Coast to Castles' challenge. In just 4 weeks, he'll embark on a 180-mile mission from the vibrant streets of Newcastle to the historic grandeur of Edinburgh. Purpose fuels his pedals – supporting Lia's Wings, a charity that strikes a personal chord with us all. Let's rally behind Chris as he sets a relentless pace for change!

There's an old saying that goes like "if you want to change yourself, dare what you have never dared before.” It's with this spirit that, on 27th April, I will be taking part in the 'Race Around The Netherlands' (https://lnkd.in/dVGngjUi) - the most challenging bike race in the Netherlands. It's a fully self-supported bike race over 1,900 km, a part of the challenge is for the individual biker to come up with their own strategy for tackling logistics around arranging accommodation, planning breaks, food and even sleep. In a nutshell, it's a bikepacking competition. I take this challenge for many reasons; one of them is that I believe we have undiscovered physical and mental capacities but we don’t use them because we are surrounded by barriers we do not see. Break those barriers and you’ll find your real self. Another reason I do this is for a cause. I strongly believe that change can be brought about only with personal commitment and collective involvement. So, as I'm busy with training and preparations, please join me in my first ultra-cycling challenge by morally supporting me through a donation to help Justdiggit fight climate change by re-greening Africa (Bundraiser: a fundraiser for a cooler planet!) #ultrachallenge #walkintheparknot #fundraising #racecycling #Conservation

The scale of the global food waste problem is staggering: 🔴 33% of all food produced is wasted every year. That translates to $1.2 trillion worth of food annually. 🔴 Almost 50% of all fruits and vegetable produced is wasted every year globally which is equivalent to about 3.7 trillion apples. And as if those stats weren't shocking enough... 🔴 If 25% of the food currently lost or wasted were saved, it would be enough to feed 870 million hungry people. So today, on Stop Food Waste Day, please support our chosen charity FareShare UK / FareShare South West to ensure they have the funds they need to redistribute surplus food to charities that turn it into meals. 🚨 Donate here today to stop food waste, make sure people don't go hungry, and support our charity challenge: 👉 https://lnkd.in/efZZ8EkS #StopFoodWasteDay #FightHunger #CharityChallenge #ZeroWaste

Yesterday, over 50,000 people ran the London Marathon After months of training and mindboggling commitment, they pushed themselves to the absolute limit and achieved something really amazing. What if that effort had gone towards defending life on Earth? I have incredible respect for marathon runners, I couldn’t do it. They have achieved something really fantastic, and I salute them - they are a testament to the power of human will But we’re deep in a planetary emergency and that means society has to reconsider its priorities Many people say they don’t take part in climate action because they just can’t find the time in their busy lives. Yet many marathon runners are overworked professionals with young families, and they still found time to train because they made it a personal priority Many ran as a way to make the world a better place, to raise money for their important causes. It's a wonderful commitment, thank you. But what if those hundreds of hours of training instead went to confronting the power structures that make their cause necessary in the first place? I worry about what this says about our sense of agency. Folk seem to feel the only way to make a difference is to raise money for charities and campaigners. We feel it’s the job of others to make the world better, so we leave it to the professionals (like most of my network here) and support them with cash But that model is failing. Charities and campaigners can’t do it on their own, not even with unlimited budgets. Leaving action to others is why we’re in an emergency in the first place To get out of this we need to reach social tipping points, when momentum towards change becomes unstoppable. To reach it, we need everyone to get involved, and make climate action every bit as much of a personal mission as running a marathon is Many runners feel real elation - it's part sense of achievement & part runner’s high, but often it seems more than that. It seems also to come from having had a real sense of purpose. A deep satisfaction from committing oneself to something bigger than our day-to-day grind Well there’s no greater sense of purpose to be had than coming together with your fellow humans to fight for a better future & the survival of all we love. It’s not a struggle with a clear end point like a marathon, but you get more than a PB and a medal You get to know you tried

Translating passion for 🚴♂️ with Cyclinguists® 🚴♀️✍️ | English & French to Czech | Bicycles, sports and tech | Vanslator, location independent freelancer, sustainability & ergonomics enthusiast
21st December, almost there. There's not much to say about this window in my bike advent calendar. You probably already know everything about it. Bike sharing. 🚲 Perfect solution for any city. I've used bike sharing in several countries and cities, it's great for tourists, but also for locals. Healthier alternative to public transportation, you'll see much more from the city and you can avoid traffic jams. Great example is my favorite Rekola bikesharing, a Czech company that actually had only reconditioned bikes in their fleet at the start! Give it a try... or buy someone a subscription for Christmas 🎄 What was your best experience with bike sharing? Let me know in the comments! 👇 #cyclingtranslator #cyclinguist #vanslator #donatingtranslator #donate #christmas #adventcalendar #bikeadventcalendar

In the world of parenting, the mantra of "reduce, reuse, recycle" extends beyond just environmental consciousness; it also makes practical and financial sense. When it comes to outfitting young athletes with sports gear, the allure of brand new equipment may seem strong, but the benefits of opting for second-hand items are plentiful. See what we think those benefits are on our Grassboots blog… https://lnkd.in/egBJjBSb #EarthDay 🌍 #circulareconomy #reuse ♻️ #reducewaste #recycle #recycling #SportForAll #Fundraising 💰 #sustainable 🌿 #community #SportsKitRecycling 🔄 #preloved ❤️ #secondhand #grassroots #sportswear 👕 #communityclubs #LocalClubs 🏠 #sportsclubs #donating #donate #RecycleAndRaise ♻️ #CommunitySupport 👥 #SportClubSolutions ⚽ #AffordableSports 🎽 #PrelovedSportsGear 👟 #GrassrootsSupport 🌾 #EcoFriendlySports 🌍 #ParentsSupport 👨👩👧👦 #ClubRegistration ✍️ #YouthSports 🧒 #GrassbootsApp 📱

Over the next 6 months, as I’ve got extra time to fill my calendar, I’m looking to dedicate a serious amount of my time to long distance running. This will not only help me keep fit but gives me the head space to consider some of lifes challenges. For anybody wanting some creative lift or strategic space the outdoors is a great alternative to sitting in the office! (whether it's a 5km run or 50km run) I’m excited to let you know that I’ve joined The Green Runners community which brings together two of my personal passions; to live a more sustainable life and running. My pledges (which need to be renewed annually) are: 1. I will reduce my red meat consumption further. 2. For my running gear I will look into brands’ sustainability policies and only purchase from reputable brands. 3. I will take public or other environmentally friendly transport when commuting to running events. 4. I will advocate for The Green Runners group on social media and raise their awareness. I’d like to take this opportunity to ask my network to spend 5 minutes of your time looking over the website www.thegreenrunners.com or their Linkedin page https://lnkd.in/daZx6u-i and if you want to make a pledge please support the cause by signing up sharing your pledge/s. #freetime #inspiration #climatehelp #running #ultra #greenrunners

Transform Your Sports Club: Declutter, Fundraise, and Go Green! As passionate sports enthusiasts, members of sports clubs or having sporty kids, you'll know sports gear accumulates over time. From last season's boots, trainers and tops to bats, clubs and balls, the pile grows!! One day you'll open that cupboard, shed or garage and find your sporting goods have taken over your valuable space. While having the right equipment is essential, why hang on to items that are too small or no longer used. Having a way to pass on these "space grabbers" is equally important and having a declutter is very therapeutic!
