Thank you all so so much for your donations!! You've helped me book my place on the challenge! Training continues... For those that haven't yer sponsored me, I still have a target to reach so donations of any size really are greatly appreciated. Please help me raise as much money as possible for Diabetes UK. Lots of love xxx

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page!

On the 9th september 2011 Kirsty and I are taking part in a cycle challenge from London to Paris to raise money for Diabetes UK.

The challenge consists of approx 200 miles cycling in 3 days:

Day 1: Cycle approx 80 miles from London to Dover.

Day 2: Cycle approx 75 miles along the Seine, through countryside and villiages.

Day 3: Cycle approx 55 miles continuing along the Seine valley and through adjacent countryside until reaching Paris late afternoon.

This is a massive challenge for me as I can't remember the last time I was out on a bike for longer than half an hour so I have alot of training to do!!

Every penny donated to Diabetes UK helps fund vital research into the causes, complications and hopefully one day a cure for diabetes.  It is a charity that is close to the hearts of my family and friends and I am extremely grateful for donations of any size.

Thanks again!
