Nick’s Challenge

Support our 4,000 mile charity cycle challenge for The WFA.

Nick is cycling 4,000 miles over two months to raise funds for the newly established WFA Benevolent Fund and fulfil a lifelong ambition to cross Europe from north to south.

His journey begins at Nordkapp, Arctic Norway, on Saturday, 22nd June and finishes around two months later in Tarifa, southern Spain - overlooking the Strait of Gibraltar and the African coast beyond.

Along the way, Nick will cycle through eight countries – Norway, Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, Belgium, France, and Spain – experiencing everything from Arctic camping in 5°C with 24-hour daylight to the 30°C+ heat of the Mediterranean south.

About The WFA Benevolent Fund

The WFA Benevolent Fund is being established to help safeguard and sustain the future of Powerchair Football in England for years to come. The fund will be developed over the medium term, and in time, will grow to a level that could help mitigate financial strain within our existing community and support those who wish to join this wonderful sport. It will also invest in initiatives to help expand the game. Every penny raised will go directly into building the fund for this purpose.

Your donation today is an investment in the future of Powerchair Football.

Anyone can give to The WFA Benevolent Fund, and we warmly welcome donations from individuals and businesses taking part in their own sponsored events - now or in the future.
