In early December, Andy, my brother in law, was diagnosed with a brain tumour. I have seen first hand the dramatic impact a brain tumour can have and Andy has fought bravely against the odds.

He had a successful operation and is now going through the tough journey of rehabilitation. He has made positive progress but has a long journey ahead.

Having seen this first hand, it has inspired me to want to raise money for a great charity who support sufferers of brain tumours and research into this disease.

On 17 June 2017, myself and my good friends Matt and Louise are going to aim to cycle a 200 mile route from London to Paris in less than 24 hours in order to raise money. This is going to be a big challenge and our training has already begun.

We would all be grateful if you could contribute to this great cause so we can raise as much money as possible.
