This summer, instead of relaxing on a beach and dipping my toes in a pool i'll be cycling 400 miles from Leeds to Paris in aid of the charity 'Save The Children'. 

Save The Children works in 120 countries providing support for children in terms of education, health and children's rights. In particular, the charity are currently working with refugee children in Syria and have already helped over 600,000 children and their families giving them the resources and support they need.

The bike ride itself, is going to be a very challenging experience and possibly something I should start to consider training for! We will be averaging between 60-70 miles a day and the journey will take us six days between the 13th- 20th June. To add the adventure we will be camping on route so they'll be no luxuries to look forward to at the end of the day. 

I am very much looking forward to the adventure but need to crack on with the training otherwise i'll be the last in the pack. Please make my sweat and tears worthwhile by donating to this fantastic charity.

Just so you know, all of your donations will go directly to the charity and I am funding myself for all my expenses!
