Tamsin's Pedal to Paris!


Where's my cheese?

Early this morning our very own English teacher, Tamsin Robertson, set off on a 150 mile cycle to Paris to raise funds for Hackney Yoga Project.

Setting off from Brighton, she cycled to Newhaven and onto a ferry to Dieppe and will be tackling a further 30 miles this evening before resting.

Fuelled by wheels of brie, she'll be clocking up another 75 miles on Friday, as she pedals towards the Eiffel Tower. Aiming to arrive in Paris mid-day Saturday, Tamsin will face a final 50 mile early morning cycle – wish her luck!

To donate to Tamsin's Pedal to Paris challenge: click the secure PayPal ‘Donate’ button (top right of this blog).  100% of donations go directly towards making yoga accessible to survivors of human rights abuse and torture.

Keep up to date with Tamsin’s challenge by following HackneyYoga Project on Twitter and liking our Facebook page.

Tamsin is also joined by four other intrepid cyclists, in memory of a great friend Paulo Brr, raising money for the PauloMemorial Fund.
