Three local men are cycling the length of the country to raise funds for Exeter-based charity Rainbow Living.

Duncan, Will and Jools are cycling from John O’Groats to Land’s End to help raise money for a third Rainbow House which will provide a home for a group of young disabled adults in the local area.  The trio are preparing in a variety of ways and have just completed the Nello, a 100 mile cycle ride!

Says Will: “After a casual conversation about going for a cycle ride we've ended up setting ourselves the biggest physical challenge of our lives!  To make it even more worthwhile, we thought we'd like to make a difference and raise some money for a local Devon charity, Rainbow Living, which supports adults with disabilities, mainly learning disabilities and their families by providing accommodation so that young and older adults with disabilities can live with their peers, often moving out of the family home and into supported living. The charity has two houses, one in Exeter and another in Torquay, and are now working on raising funds for a third in Exeter.”

These amazing guys are aiming to raise £1,000  - to find out more and to sponsor them on this epic journey please visit www.justgiving.com/rainbowlivingendtoend.

Ruth Airdrie from Rainbow Living said: “We are so grateful to Duncan, Will and Jools for undertaking this epic cycle for Rainbow Living. 

All money raised will go directly towards a third Rainbow house in the area, making a real difference to the lives of young adults with disabilities.”
