I will personally match the highest donation given on this page! Whoop!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving fundraising page.

This will be my fifth charity cycle overseas, and my third for Mencap. Hold for applause... Thank you.

This time we're raising for three charities: Mencap, Kith and Kids, and Self Unlimited.

With that in mind, I've taken time to make sure that every penny donated goes directly to the charities. I pay ALL my own expenses, and pay additional cost for flights (which are usually hidden), etc, so that every penny donated will go direct to helping others.

Please bear that in mind when donating.
