​“I’VE DONE IT AGAIN!” 

This is an extract from my Spring Term 2015/16 'SEN Update' entitled: 
“So Now What?"
that was released on 8 January 2016.

(Don’t forget, to ensure that you never miss out on one, you can get my SEN updates personally by completing your email details, or by following me on one of the
Social Media platforms that I use, at the bottom of this page.

You can also easily share this update with others (please only do this if it may be relevant to them), by using one of the icons to the right of this page (if on a computer) or at the top of this page (if on a mobile device)).  ​
“I NEED YOUR HELP AGAIN …”









It’s amazing how things work out sometimes, isn’t it? 

In November 2015, I successfully completed my 6th annual 5-day international bike ride to raise funds for Norwood, a charity that supports children and young people with disabilities, using a specially modified recumbent trike. This time I was riding 400 km from the middle of the Negev Desert up to the big hills of Jerusalem (again in Israel).

I am glad to also be able to report now that I managed to raise the £15,000  target that I was hoping to for Norwood.  I also wish to thank those of you who read this update who kindly sponsored me.

I must say though that this was probably the most ‘challenging’ ride that I have ever done. It even included riding up one of the biggest mountains (assisted by a professional cyclist) on the 4th day of the ride. 

Also, for the second time, I did this ride with my 18 year-old son, Zachi.  Although he did not ride up the mountain himself that afternoon, he helped me considerably by passing me at one point in a van with a beat-box loudly playing out the song ‘Eye of the Tiger’ which was the theme tune to one of the ‘Rocky’ films, which motivated me to keep going to the top.

See, people sometimes help you in all sorts of ways!

So now what? ​

With best wishes
