Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

For our annual 'Action Week', my colleagues and I wanted to complete a sponsored cycle ride to Paris. Unfortunately no one would give us the time off work so we have resorted to a 'virtual' bike ride instead. What does this mean? It means we will sit on an exercise bike in a garage for a decent part of the week, clocking up the 213 miles to get us to Paris 'virtually'. So no croissants at the end (or if they are, they'll come from the Tesco's down the road).

Please give us any support you can. Anything we raise will go directly to help Independent Age support thousands of older people across the UK and Ireland.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
