In early May, to raise funds for CRS, Paul Doran is taking on an incredible cycling journey from Málaga to Bilbao covering approximately 1,200 km!
Paul, along with his wife Michelle, will begin by cycling along the coast towards Granada, before turning inland to Albacete. From there, they’ll tackle the stunning (and challenging!) Sierra Nevada mountains, ride through the famous Rioja vineyards, continue on to Zaragoza, and finally complete their journey in Bilbao.
And here’s the real challenge — they’re doing it all on standard bikes with no assisted power.
This is an amazing effort for a great cause. If you’d like to support Paul and learn more about his journey, please visit his Just Giving page
Paul recently became the treasurer for the Friends of the Cathedral Relief Service. He writes:
I became involved after my friend Crispin returned from visiting the charity in Kolkata. The pictures and videos he shared were truly inspiring and motivated me to take on this challenge in support of their work.
We were deeply impressed by how much could be achieved with so little — every pound was well spent and made a real difference. It was clear to see how women and children are being given the opportunity to break the cycle of poverty through education, and how our contributions are helping to make that possible.
