Meet our Ride London Cyclists!

Caroline Kneen is a Mothers’ Union member who is originally from Dublin in Ireland but moved to the Isle of Man nearly 15 years ago to be with her husband, Mark. They have two beautiful children, Milo and Callie. Caroline is a member of St Thomas' Mother's Union, in the diocese of Sodor and Mann where she recently became a Trustee and co-ordinator of the Mothers’ Union prison project on the Isle of Man. Caroline decided she would love to take up the challenge of completing the Ride London Surrey 100 cycle, raising money for Mother's Union and all the fantastic work that they are doing, both locally and worldwide. Caroline has already held a coffee morning and raffle to help with her fundraising.

Steve Venn’s wife is the Branch Leader of All Saints’ Church Mothers’ Union branch in Denmead, Hampshire. Steve agrees with the aims and ethos of Mothers’ Union and so welcomed the opportunity to help raise funds for our worthwhile projects and activities. Steve is a keen cyclist and regularly rides 20-30 miles, occasionally riding as far as 70 miles but never as far as 100! Ride London Surrey 100 is the longest cycling challenge Steve has ever done and he will be 66 by the time race day comes around. Therefore, Steve saw this as a good challenge and chance to fundraise for Mothers’ Union.

Folajaye (Jay) Oyeneyin’s mother-in-law is a member of Mother’s Union and this is how he came to hear about our work. Fola had paid for his own place in Ride London and was so inspired that he decided wanted to raise money for Mothers’ Union, an organisation that shares his Christian faith and wants to benefit others that are in need.
