#Cycle4Lewis: Prague to Baltic Sea & back (21st Sept. start)

[1863scfc]

Fellow Stokies,

On the 21st September, we start our fundraising cycle from Prague to the Baltic sea and back.

We're raising funds for Team Lewis Trust, a charity setup in memory of Lewis Crossley.
Lewis was a passionate young Stoke City fan who sadly passed away when he was just 7 years old following a brave battle against a rare type of leukaemia.

In 2017, I read about Lewis's battle against the illness and decided to do set off on a fundraising challenge.
I cycled from Prague to Stoke (around 1400km) and was able to meet Lewis and his family in Stoke. Close to 2500£ were raised.

This time, two Czech friends are joining me for the cycling challenge. We are aiming to complete it in 10 days.

Regarding Abdallah Sima:
Tomas, one of the Czech guys doing the cycling challenge with me is actually a Slavia Prague season ticket holder.
Sima is very highly rated here and Tomas didn't understand why Brighton loaned him straight out.
Look forward to seeing him with the Stoke red and white! Will hopefully make a big impact for us this season.

Fellow Potters

We're at the halfway point of our cycling challenge and have just cycled 650km in 5 days and we've reached the Baltic Sea today. Tomorrow we go again and aim to reach Prague by Friday evening if all goes well!

At this half way point of our challenge, we've hit 54% of our fundraising target!

Hopefully you can help us get closer to our set target. All donations whether big or small are very meaningful and will help fund research for cures against leukemia.
