Story

Jill here.

There are 9 million bicycles in Beijing (that’s a fact😉)

Bicycle Race (it’s not a race phew!)

Tour de France (well I’ll be in 🇫🇷 at least)

Big Energy (I’ll need it)

Take my breathe away (I’m sure it will)

Oh Happy Day (when I’ve finished, oh yes!)

70 of us will be cycling through the 5 historic Normandy beaches this summer.

This is a big ask for me to do this cycle event - more than 160 miles  but it’s for a wonderful cause - helping veterans who serve or have served our country and the emergency services personnel.

We need to give back to them.

Every £ you generously donate will spur me on and encourage and enthuse me to go further and get it done. 

Thank you.
