David Graham Cycling to every cathedral in England in 2015 for Rethink Mental Illness From Oakham Rutland
David Graham Cycling to every cathedral in England in 2015 for Rethink Mental Illness From Oakham Rutland
David Graham, a professional musician and director of Oakham-based music agency DG Music
He has challenged himself to cycle to every C of E cathedral in England in 2015.
He will be cycling to 42 cathedrals, stretching from Newcastle and Carlisle in the north to Canterbury and Truro in the south, in a journey that will cover 2500 miles in total. David is planning to accomplish this impressive feat by covering small groups of cathedrals over a number of trips and hopes to complete his challenge by summer’s end. He will also be forgoing public transport by cycling return journeys - as if he wasn't doing enough!

He hopes to raise as much money as he can for the charity ‘Rethink Mental Illness’, which supports people with serious mental health problems and their families. 1 in 4 people in the UK is affected by mental health issues in one way or another and I hope that the money raised will go some way to helping other people who have to deal with this difficult problem.
Some of David's cycling friends will be joining him on his trips and he urges you to support them as they support him. You can choose to make one total donation or maybe a donation based on each cathedral visit? It’s up to you, but I can assure you that every penny donated will help him to keep pedalling!
David is raising funds for a charity was founded in 1972 and since then has helped thousands of people living with a variety of mental illnesses and conditions to recover a better quality of life including…
Anxiety disorders
Bipolar disorder
Borderline Personality Disorder
Cannabis and psychosis
Depression

1 in 4 people in the UK are affected by mental illness however it remains a topic some find difficult to discuss. ‘Rethink’ aims to challenge attitudes towards mental disorder.
