Millie Coady-Booth


Millie by Eiffel TowerTwelve-year-old Millie Coady-Booth is taking on the most wonderful challenge. This Thursday 5 April she begins her cycle-ride from Paris to London -  50-60 miles a day for five days - in aid of Arts 4 Dementia. Her mother Chantal is cycling alongside her. 

To be a real star, you can support Millie and Arts 4 Dementia using the box on the right and you can follow her progress on her blog.

*AND you can add your portrait next to your name by logging in, clicking on the "My details" button and then "Choose Profile Pic".

Millie explains: “I was really inspired to cycle from Paris to London because last year in the summer my brother and mum cycled from London to Paris for a charity (Build Africa). It is a really good challenge and a chance to meet new people or consolidate old friendships. It's a really good way to get fit and to challenge your limits!  

"I also loved when we were training for the big ride, that we got to see so much of the English countryside and when we're there in Paris some French scenery! 

"I chose Arts 4 Dementia because Judy Greenwood is a really good friend and when we heard about Arts 4 Dementia helping people with art I was so inspired to help and because I love the arts so much! 

"We will carry all our own things, and mend our own punctures - we are not camping, so the load could be worse! The route is from Paris to Dieppe, some of it on the Voie Verte, which is part of the anticipated Avenue Verte and then to Newhaven and back to London on the Cuckoo Trail ... 

"Every penny of your donations goes straight to Arts 4 Dementia, as we have funded the trip with our own money”. 


This will go to support Arts 4 Dementia's fourteen-project London Arts Challenge in 2012 programme bringing art, comedy, dance, Indian dance, music, photography and poetry to those in the early stages of dementia and their carers, now just starting and already proving extremely effective.

If you feel like supporting Millie on her ambitious quest, any donation, however small would be most appreciated. 

You can support Millie through the Donation box on the right of this page.  If you are a UK tax payer, the amount can be increased by 25% at no cost to you by selecting Gift Aid.
