One week to go and I have joined 94 colleagues at Unilever in this year's Miles4Mel charity cycle, health challenges have limited training to a minimum this year, it will be hard but I will give it my best shot

I will be donning the Lycra again to raise money for a great cause as well as remembering a colleague who is missed dearly from Unilever. Mel Jaggard was a true inspiration and has left behind a legacy of never giving up. On Friday the 20th of May I will join 94 Unilever colleagues and start the journey from Surrey to Gilwern in Wales which was Mels hometown.   We are riding as part of an amazing team that last year raised over £85k. Our goal this year is to exceed £100k so we really do need all your help and generosity.
