This is the first time that I've done a charity sporting thing. I suppose it is easy to think that you are being asked to sponsor me to have a nice day out doing a favorite sporting activity but it's not like that for a few reasons:

Firstly I'll match any donation £ for £ - so we'll share the work on donations

Secondly, for me at least, 100 miles is a long way on a bike. I love cycling, but 30-40 miles followed by a swim and a glass of chardonnay is perfect for me. To add to the agony, at about 60 miles in I will cycle almost past our front door, but will have Leith Hill, Box Hill and another 40 miles to go. This is going to be hard work!

Thirdly it's in a  great cause. The BHF does amazing work that has touched many people close to me and I'm sure to you to. It seems a miracle for example that a stent can now be fitted with no more drama than a dental filling, but it is thanks to research from the likes of BHF that this can happen.

So please dig deep and sponsor me for this event.
