Raising funds for disabled children
There are an estimated 70,000 disabled children and young people in the UK waiting for a wheelchair that fits their young lives. That’s where Whizz-Kidz come in.
They provide disabled children with the essential wheelchairs and other mobility equipment they need to lead fun and active childhoods.
They’re having fun whizzing around obstacle courses, knocking over skittles, doing wheelies and learning about boring but important things like road safety at wheelchair skills courses.

London and back again? Done.
James Greenwood
We did it. We've had road bikes for around 3 months and yet we did it.
80 mile training rides, broken seat posts and final arrangements
James Greenwood
It's upon us. Next week, the ride to London and back starts, covering 440 odd miles. 440 miles. It's a lot of miles, is that.
Weldtite sponsor Team Strawberry
James Greenwood
We've been very lucky whilst training and preparing for this challenge. The generosity of those helping us continues to make us very grateful.
Next time, I’ll just sponsor them
Steve Savage
I used to ride regularly in my early to mid-teens and then I sold my bikes to buy a car. Back then I could ride all day without an ache or pain in sight. Fast forward circa 20 years and things are not quite so easy.

So, after 6 weeks of a shiny new bike sat in the Strawberry offices last weekend saw me finally get out on my Planet X machine!

With the rubbish winter we've been having, we'd have been stuck without Simon and Ricky at The Village Hotel in Hull.

The second entry from James' video diary... and the first time out on the bike.
No biscuits and no beer - what have I done?
Steve Savage
They say that pain is just weakness leaving the body. I didn’t realise just how weak I was until I picked up the training for this challenge. It seems that years of pen pushing and keyboard tapping have taken their toll!
I look like a wannabe WWF wrestler!
Stu Greenham
The challenge of biking to London and back is starting to sink in and it’s clear that it’s going to take one big effort from the team to complete it.
A great cause but a crazy idea!
James Greenwood
I'm having to ride to London and back and it's all my fault. Yes, this thing started off as my idea and whilst training has started, we now need to get a bit more serious…

Hull to London - and back!
We're going to cycle to the Whizz-Kidz office in central London - it's around the corner from the Queen's house! That's 440 miles. Gulp.
