Coast to Coast - Olivia da Silva & Saki Thethy

Aim: We're cycling 330km from coast to coast in one day to raise funds for the Alzheimer’s Society, an incredibly worth cause.

This summer, we're taking on a huge challenge: cycling 330km coast to coast in a single day, from Rochester to Weston-super-Mare. It’s the furthest I’ve ever ridden, and I’m doing it in support of the Alzheimer’s Society.

I signed up during my first week at Aviva, caught up in the buzz of a new job a without fully realising what I was letting myself in for... Now, a few months (and many kilometres) later, I’m deep into training.

Having seen the effects of dementia, I know how cruel an it can be. The Alzheimer’s Society does vital work, supporting families, funding research, and pushing for progress. Riding for them feels like a meaningful way to channel that experience into something positive.

The day itself is going to be long, hilly, and very tough, but nothing compared to what people living with dementia go through every day. Any support you can give, will really make a difference.
