John Pocock, Chair of e Honeypot Children’s Charity Patrons’ Club and event founder said: “The House to House Cycle Challenge has become a fantastic way for people to come together, take on an inspiring personal challenge and raise vital funds for Honeypot. This year’s route from Wales to Hampshire promises incredible scenery, some tough climbs and a huge sense of achievement as riders arrive at Honeypot House in the New Forest. Taking place during Honeypot’s 30th anniversary year makes this year’s challenge even more special. Every mile cycled helps support young carers and children who need a safe place to relax, play, build confidence and simply enjoy being children. Every pound raised will have a positive effect for the rest of their lives”. Simmi Woodwal, CEO of e Honeypot Children’s Charity, said: “We are incredibly grateful to everyone taking part in this year’s House to House Cycle Challenge.
