Thank you for all your support! 

It is inspirational to see so many supporters. When I started fundraising, it never occurred to me how many people are willing to give to this cause.

Unfortunately I am no longer able to take part in the ride. My right shoulder muscles were damaged from an old injury and with these strenuous training they are starting to cause problems again. I have been going to the physio every week in the hope that I can reduce the pain and continue with the cycle ride, but to no avail. The doctors have recommended that I do not do the full 340km across Turkey. As you can imagine, I am rather disappointed having heard the news. However, I have decided to cycle as much as I can (within reason) and I would be ever so grateful if you could continue to support me. Having said this, if you wish to retract your donation, then I can completely understand.

I have decided that during the time that I am not cycling I will be promoting MAP’s work in Turkey, through media channels, and raising awareness. Once again, I wanted to thank you for supporting me.

I also want to say that every penny that you donate will go towards supporting MAP's programmes and I'll make sure to keep you guys posted throughout the journey.
