Rev Emily Hyland and why she is taking part :-
“I’m doing the Cycle 10:10 to celebrate people I know who are now living in recovery from their addiction to alcohol or drugs. I think churches have the vital task of sharing with people that although it might seem impossible to get past the dark times in your life, there is hope and new life to be discovered. So, I’m cycling to say “well done and stay encouraged” to those in recovery and to say “you can do it” for all those who are feeling trapped in their addiction.”
