God has given everyone a talent
and a recent talk by Paul at the Church of the Good Shepherd spoke of
the unique gifts that we all possess and how we should use these to serve others.
But I sat there
thinking well I can't sing, I can't play an instrument, and I don't bake.
However it seems God has given me a talent in endurance sports. I like to ride
my bike and I’ve been known to ride it quite far. I've also raised £1000s for
charities in the past through my marathon running. So why not combine these two
gifts to give back to the Church.
On 17
June I'll be embarking on an epic 1,400 mile ride around the West coast of
Ireland following the Wild Atlantic Way. I'll be riding for up to 20 hours and covering
200 miles per day whilst getting no more than 2 hours sleep a night if I’m
lucky. It may also surprise you that my bike has no saddle! So I'll be standing
for the entire time effectively 'running' on my ElliptiGO bike. It will be a spectacular
journey and test me both physically and mentally, to, and potentially beyond,
my limits. I really don't know if I can do it. What I do know is that I cannot do
this alone and I need YOUR SUPPORT. I would love everyone reading this to be
inspired and do two things:

Discover your talent! What are you good at and how can you use
your gift to support your local church, or other local community groups and
good causes
