Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. (update 9/9/14)
Just a brief update to thank you all for your kind support
I made it to Paris !! :) with your support in my endeavours in Raising Money for the
Royal British Legion, along with another
297 cyclists, by Pedaling around 290 miles from London to Paris
you helped raise over £1/2 million and
still counting! for this wonderful charity
I arrived safe and sore (the
cobbles up the Champs Elyse did not help!
) on Sunday `9th September, exhausting and exhilarating at the same time!
Thanks for all the sponsorship received and so far you have helped me raise over £1500+ for the charity the Royal British Legion a big THANK YOU.
I have updated the photos of my arrival in Paris. Any further donations large and small will still be gratefully received.

I am fund raising for the British legion, on the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, its a time of special reflection and tribute, in particular those in my family who have made the ultimate sacrifice in serving their Country. To my Uncle Charles who died on the Burma railway, who was named after his uncle Charley Housley who died in the trenches in 1917.
There are those who also remain who have also been devastated by the impact of more recent conflicts, and I know that the money I raise will be used to good effect by the Royal British Legion, for those who have served and their dependents, this charity can not just rely on poppy day in raising in much needed funds, as its out goings are all year round.
