Intrepid Duo Supporting Street Angels
An intrepid duo are taking part in a 234 mile cycle challenge to raise funds and awareness of CNI (Christian Nightlife Initiatives) Network and its local projects in the North East of England. Starting at South Tyneside at 9.30am on Friday 9th June, Steve Brock and Andy Fox will visit fifteen Street Angel projects before finishing at 4.30pm in Northallerton on Sunday 11th June. The ride will take in several iconic locations across the region including the Angel of the North, Middlesbrough Transporter Bridge, Whitby Abbey and York Minster alongside various challenging hills. At each of the stops it is planned to meet up with local volunteers and celebrate the work of work and impact of Street Angels on weekend evenings. Accompanying the duo in a support vehicle will be founder of Street Angels and CNI Network Paul Blakey MBE. Steve Brock, one of the cyclists and a trustee of CNI Network, comments, "This cycle ride is a great way to meet fifteen of our local projects and the amazing teams of volunteers who give so much to our region. We will also be fundraising for the ongoing national work of CNI Network and encouraging the local projects to use this event as a way of raising local funds and profile. Although the route will be a challenge at times, Andy and myself are looking forward to it!" The cycle ride is also paving the way for a North East regional conference to be held at Middlesbrough's Riverside Stadium on Thursday 29th June between 12noon and 9pm with training sessions, opportunity to meet volunteers from across the area and a celebration dinner.
