Through her love of cycling, 79-year-old Judith Hammond has found inspiration for her fundraising in The Big Ride (TBR).
TBR is an organization which raises money for children in Gaza through one huge ride each year with 200 cyclists.
This year at the end of July, TBR will go from Derby to Manchester, via Stoke, and Judith’s challenge will be to get to Derby by cycling with her friend Michael Weltike.
They will be going from Bradford-on-Avon, to meet up with the start of TBR, which will end with a grand tour of Manchester.
Her bike ride will amount to 250 -300 miles in total that week, and this time she will be raising funds to help equip a language lab at a secondary school in Tubas.
Judith took on this year’s TBR Spring warmup challenge and all participants were asked to arrange a ‘Spring Solidarity Ride’ of 22 miles.
Locally, seven committed friends joined her on Saturday, March 26.
