There was no generalisation. Quote what you found offensive, try and explain why or leave it and carry on going through all my posts pressing on the sick emoji which you 've been doing since yesterday since I said the Cains shouldn't feel guilty over their baby 's cancer diagnosisTbh it is very generalising to say what was said.Just because it doesn’t offend you it does myself and others. Also it seems to me this conversation will not end until the person that disagrees with the statement backs down. As I feel that is the real reason for any debate again.![]()
Coming from someone who has several family members with learning difficulties, i don't see anything wrong here. Sometimes they don't understand things, its really not that deep. Can we move on
This doesn’t sit well with me, just google it and pay for it like everyone else, don’t beg for freebies and don’t tag the foundation that you’ve made in honour of your daughter to really pull people into itMore begging
Jesus he’s not the only person to have ever rode this journey many many people have done so for charity or pleasure. Pretty sure he can afford a massage if he’s so desperate for one or use his gifted massage tools fgs! enrages me all this bloody begging under the guise of wanting help finding something.More begging
I know of a very good one near Tiverton but they won’t give away a few freebies!!! They have a waiting list and I doubt they would be happy!More begging
Spot on if his given a one for free he should actually put in to the fund what it would’ve costThis doesn’t sit well with me, just google it and pay for it like everyone else, don’t beg for freebies and don’t tag the foundation that you’ve made in honour of your daughter to really pull people into it
I didn’t even think about the cost of all thatAre they going to raise more than it’s costing them? Or are they relying on people feeding them and putting them in hotels for free?
They will have rode over 1000 miles which, what ever we think of his behaviour towards S, it is an achievement so I don't think she should ride over the finish line with them. However it would be nice if she was there at the finish to greet them & would be nice if he acknowledged she was there
the wording of it too, like they can’t continue doing good for charity unless someone gives them a freebie.More begging
I think it's for both. Saf goes with buckets and they get people to donate through the website or the gofundme...What is the bike ride for? Is it to raise more money or just to spread the word and raise awareness of the charity?
That’s a good question. I know people who did the same challenge to raise money for a friend with cancer and they did maximum riding per day a) to make it a tougher challenge and raise more cash and b) to cut down on costs - fewer nights in hotels, food, etc as possible. They cycled pretty much 11-12 hours a day.Are they going to raise more than it’s costing them? Or are they relying on people feeding them and putting them in hotels for free?
The headland hotel costs on average £250 per night per room so 3 rooms would’ve been £750 then safiyas and Danny’s spa £300 for two people ! Their meals the night before was probably around £300 maybe more as Ashley ate in Rick Steins! So day one was around £1400 that’s just for what I’ve notes there! Are they going to get gifted on average of £1k worth of hotels and food a day over the 14 days ??That’s a good question.

Ashley and co do seem to be doing anything like that at the moment. It’s day 3 and they’re still not going to be out of Devon, so they must be looking at at least 3 weeks to finish. Don’t get me wrong, that’s still a bit endurance challenge but it’s going to cost them quite a bit.
They are doing about 4-5 hours and 50-60 miles a day at the minute from what I’ve seenThat’s a good question.

Why do they need to stay in such up market hotels anyway? Surely a budget hotel would be fine for what they need a bed a shower a hot meal? And would be so much less money and they wouldn’t be coming off as they are doing which is entitled IMOThe headland hotel costs on average £250 per night per room so 3 rooms would’ve been £750 then safiyas and Danny’s spa £300 for two people !

I’ve just been looking and a supported ride costs over £2k a person that’s without extras and in a B&B. Ashley and Matt seem to have two supporting riders with them, I know a lot has been gifted by the looks of it but has the trip with the equipment been funding from the Go fund me also the bikes then two bikes were absolutely not cheap! I know they are going around with buckets but I can’t see them raising each day what hotels would cost them i just can’t work this one out and I’m glad someone’s mentioned itWhy do they need to stay in such up market hotels anyway?
