Our own Freddie from The Ugly Inside Video Channel recently cycled from St Mary’s Stadium to Fratton Park in a bid to prepare for London to Amsterdam cycle for Prostate Cancer UK in the summer.
One of our own recently gave Fratton Park a little make over with some red and white.
Freddie has joined Men United to raise money for Prostate Cancer UK and will be cycling from London to Amsterdam in the summer. In a bid to prepare for this he recently cycled from St Mary’s to Fratton Park.
Check out the video to see how he got on:
Freddie will be cycling from London (Olympic Stadium) to Amsterdam (Amsterdam Arena home of Ajax Football Club) on June 3rd - June 5th 2016. The route is 145 miles over two days and two countries. A truly remarkable challenge.
This is a tough challenge but Freddie is looking forward to it as he told us recently.
"I have made a commitment to raise a minimum of £1,000 (£600 by 1 April 2016 with a further £400 raised by 15 July 2016)"
"This is truly a milestone challenge in my life, as I have never cycled that far on a bicycle. I would say I am a novice cyclist but I am committed to raise as much money as possible for a fantastic charity, meet some inspirational people and have a fantastic time achieving this challenge! "
"Please give what you can to help Men United in the UK, about 1 in 8 men will get prostate cancer at some point in their lives."

So far Freddie is a little over a third of his way to his target amount of £1,000 raised when he starts his ride on 3rd June, so it would be nice if the readers of the Ugly Inside gave him a little boost towards his goal by making a little donation using the link below.
Every little counts and if everyone who has watched one of our videos donated just £2 Freddie would smash his target and then some !
