Pedalling for Promise

Where you start in life, should not dictate where you end up

Dawn Logan

 

Growing up on our family farm in Scotland, Mum made education a priority and it has opened up doors for me I had never imagined. I have been able to live abroad while working for one of the largest companies in the world. I hope we can give other children the opportunities that I have had.

​

My mum's love of sports and travel were another infectious trait. Our holidays were always an adventure - cycling the west coast of Scotland to visiting relatives in Zimbabwe. These early trips sparked the love of travel within me. After finishing university, I ventured on my first big trip to South America, and later conitnued my travels whilst working in both Italy and the USA. 

​

It was cycling to work in Italy that the idea for this adventure first began and I decided that, after almost a decade in the corporate world, it was time to take on a fresh challenge, combining my love for sports, travel and education.

Life has had many ups and downs, but the consistent path has always been sport and education. I loved school, striving to be the best and make everyone proud. The PE teachers at Ashdown School were the main influences for me achieving my dreams, I really looked up to them. 

​

Looking back on childhood pictures I can see that sport has been a consistent them - a football under my foot, a tennis ball in my hand. Eventually, the luxury of being involved in a plethora of sports had to come to an end and hockey was the chosen sport. Having 47 England caps was the pinnacle of my sporting career. 

​

Following the footsteps of the teachers that inspired me, I have also been in secondary education for twelve years, teaching Physical Education as well as Catering. I love inspiring children, with constant challenges. Now for the next big challenge, cycling the world.
