The big (exercise) cycle
A group from Thornton Neighbourhood Management, a project supported by Comic Relief, will be undertaking a cycle ride with a difference for The Big One. The aim is to cycle the distance from New Yundum in Gambia to Freetown in Sierra Leone, without leaving the Gym. The team will take it in turns cycling on an exercise bike at their local gym in Hull and are hoping to raise loads of cash for Comic Relief in the process.

Big Difference
Since the first Red Nose Day back in 1985 Comic Relief has spent over £8.9 million on almost 500 projects in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire.
Your money has helped Share the Care Young Carers Project to provide support for young people taking on the role of carer, parent, friend and child minder to others due to an illness or disability.
“Share the Care was there for me when I needed them and helped me make friends with people in the same situation.”
