Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On a personal level I have struggled with my weight most of my life. Having recently lost a fair amount of it I have decided to take up cycling after a rather long hiatus! I have often seen other people doing amazing things, for themselves and for others and I would love to prove to myself that I'm capable of making a positive change to my own health.

I've also recently joined as a trustee at Independent Options , a local charity who help families with disabilities. My youngest daughter Isla was diagnosed with Autism at the age of 3 and Independent Options Children and Family Centre was a great source of support for us. I'm very keen to "give something back" and help support other local families who benefit from the invaluable services that Independent Options provide.
