The Norfolk and Norwich Christian community website Duo to ride Via Beata for homelessness charity John Pinnington, a former headteacher of Notre Dame, is cycling from St David’s to Lowestoft with a friend to raise money for the homelessness project Emmaus. Together with
Paul Appleby, he will be riding 480 miles along the route of the Via Beata over seven days. The pair hope to raise more than £6000 for Emmaus Norfolk & Waveney. John writes: “When you go for sponsorship, it is always a bit scary because there is a greater responsibility around completing the event. However, doing a ride across the widest part of the UK along the Via Beata is such a great opportunity. Paul and I felt compelled to put our efforts towards helping others not so fortunate as ourselves.
