The Yard, a vibrant community hub in Coventry, is proud to announce a challenging charity cycle event aimed at raising crucial funds for Safe Haven, a vital service provided by Coventry, Warwickshire and Worcestershire Mind.
This ambitious event will take place on Saturday, September 6th, 2025, from 10:00 AM to midnight at The Yard, where volunteers will collectively cycle an incredible 1,179 miles in just 14 hours.
The choice of 1,179 miles is deeply significant: on average, 1,179 people worldwide take their own lives over a 14-hour period. Each mile cycled will serve as a poignant reminder of this tragic statistic, highlighting the urgent need for mental health support and suicide prevention.
Two state-of-the-art spinning bikes have been generously donated by Simply Gym, enabling this marathon effort. The Yard is now calling for enthusiastic volunteers to help keep the wheels turning and contribute to this ambitious target.
