Truro College, Mackerelbus Graphic Design, The Second Chance Trust (which I believe, makes me a Elmgrant Fellow), Cornwall Neighbourhood for Change, ActNow and the Church Action Group for the Unemployed who all contributed to getting me up and running.  The West Briton and Cornish Guardian, BBC Radio Cornwall and ITV’s West Country News, Raleigh and Clive Mitchell Cycles in Truro for everything they have done to help me [and they’ve done plenty].

 

Lady Mary Holborow JP and Lord George of St. Tudy GBE PC DL (better known as 'Steady Eddie' George, former Governor of the Bank of England) for their support., Tim Webb, Manager of Newquay Sports Centre , Tamsin Thomas, RNLI's Media Manager for the SW, Thelma and Louise, two mums I've worked with this past year and all the children of Cornwall who I've had the privilege to work with and hope will bring us in from our End to End.

 

Laura and Amy from Lily-Peds, Graham and Yolanda from Millypeds and John Franklin, author of Cyclecraft who actually postponed the start of his summer holiday and without whose goodwill, we simply wouldn't have the Cornish launch of both Bikeability and CTC's new Mountain Bike training scheme this summer, for their support and encouragement too.

 

Cycling England, the CTC, the Youth Sports Trust and their Partnership Development Managers.  Ken Spence and Peter Zanzottera who are responsible for ensuring that all NSIs are delivery to the required high standard and reporting back to the CTSB, also that everything is in order for us to obtain our Bikeability Accreditation.  As one of the instructors involved in the pilot, they have been wonderfully supportive!
 

Last, but by no means least, our secret weapon, Trevor Hibdige, who suddenly reappeared 34 years after we last saw each other (having both grown up in Dorchester) and has been wonderfully supportive and encouraging, inspiring me to do things I didn’t even know I was capable of ... without him we would never have achieved as much as we have in such a short space of time - Thanks Trevor., you’ve been fantastic, all the hours you spent talking me through building my website, advising me on technical issues and protecting me from the pitfalls of business that I wouldn’t have been expecting etc. etc!  You had no reason to but you did it all the same .. bless you.
