*** UPDATE (06/03/13) - On 21st April I will be running the London Marathon and my company has just pledged an additional £1,500 - THANK YOU X
On 8th September 2012 I will start the Deloitte Ride Across Britain, the ultimate British bike ride from the bottom of the British Isles to the top - all 1000 beautiful, long miles!
The 9-day journey, starting at Land's End and finishing in John O'Groats will be tough, both physically and mentally, but the most challenging part of all – for me – will be the camping! I love my creature comforts and most of all I LOVE my bed!!
So why do it? Well, I'm supporting an amazing cause – Scope, the UK's largest disability charity for children and adults with cerebral palsy (http://www.scope.org.uk).
The charity has worked with disabled people for over 60 years and has helped open up education, employment and recreation to vast numbers of disabled people both in this country and around the world. Its services are designed to support disabled people in England and Wales throughout their lives. Scope’s work focuses on four key areas: Education and learning; Short breaks; Residential care and supported independent living & Help and Advise.
Our support is vital to ensure their amazing work continues.If you would like to sponsor me and help raise funds, then please donate now! Unlike some “charity-rides” I am NOT raising money to pay for the cost of the ride, just for the charity.
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
