I live in the Peak District and have had a keen interest in cycling for many years. Cycling is my form of transport and, around here, I am used to the odd hill or two! Nevertheless, 55 miles will be a challenge and I hope I can have a successful day. Knowing that I am doing it for such a worthy cause will only inspire me to try my hardest.

I have suffered with Vasculitis for nearly five years now. Thankfully, I am now in remission. It is a horrible disease and a lot of people suffer greatly with it. I hope that doing this cycle race will raise people's awareness of the condition and I can raise a substantial amount of money for fellow sufferers and research.
