When the Paris to London bike ride was first suggested back in February, I was genuinely excited. Then I realised I didn't have a bike and the last one I'd had was back when I was 13!

Training has been hard work particularly the hills!) but really fun. Cycling 350 km in just over 4 days will be a real challenge but in a great cause.

So please give as generously as you can and follow our progress on Twitter from 17 May. Thank you!
