Story

Hello and thanks for visiting my sponsorship page,

I am planning to cycle from London to Paris this Summer to raise funds for research into Cancer.  My wonderful Grannie died of cancer in March and it’s a disease that has taken so many people already and seems to affect everyone.  I want to fight back, and raise some cash to try and make a difference. 

The 300+ mile bike ride starts at 6am – eek! – on 14th July in South London and I have to cycle 95 miles – eek! eek! – with hills to Dover by 4.30 or I’ll miss the ferry! 

Paris is one of my favourite cities but I’m expecting four, hot long days in the saddle, strenuous hill-climbs, chafing, and a lack of any proper veggie food before we glimpse the Eiffel Tower in the distance.

Please sponsor me.  I shall be sharing a room in two star hotels along the way, and frankly I reckon I deserve the sponsorship for that alone!  

Thanks for your support.  I also welcome any training or equipment tips!
