Story

I have never really pushed myself physically until last Saturday, 10th May 2014. The plan was to ride 108 miles with 1,200 fellow nutters from Cardiff to Tenby in one day. The weather was utterly MISERABLE, up to 30 mile-an-hour winds and with huge thanks to the support from my family and friends, somehow I managed to complete this in aid of Marie Curie Holme Towers, where Jayne volunteered for so many years just prior to her accident. It meant a huge amount to me to finish this, and to give a flavour of what we were faced with, please click on the video clip below. It certainly wasn't easy! Any contribution - no matter how small or large - would be hugely appreciated. Please help me to raise £1,000 for such a great cause. Many, many thanks.
