Story

I am going to hand-cycle an eight-mile circuit in London, starting from The Tower of London to Buckingham Palace and back again. This will be a huge physical challenge for me as I have limited mobility. Training has been extremely hard as I can only use my left arm so, as long as the circuit is going round in an anti-clockwise direction, I am OK. As soon as I have to manoeuvre a right hand corner, this is a bigger problem!! I also get both physically and mentally tired very quickly so an eight-mile ride is going to push me to my absolute limits.

I want to do this challenge because I am grateful for the help and support I have had from Haig over the years and I want to give something back. I would like people to support me and the money will go to providing specially adapted housing for wounded and disabled Service and ex-Service men and women - a cause very close to my heart as an ex-REME soldier
