Hello!! Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

To many of you, cycling 100 miles might not seem much of a challenge but I can assure you, in terms of my current fitness levels, I might as well be cycling to the moon. So why, you might ask, have I decided to sign up for this 8 hour assault on my poor, underused body?

Well, in part I felt that in my 30th year I should set myself some sort of physical challenge, to practice what I preach as it were, but mostly I felt that it was high time I gave back to a charity that is very close to my heart. 

As some of you may know, in addition the GP-ing I have worked part time for Florence Nightingale Hospice in Aylesbury since 2011. I have the privilage of seeing first hand the fantastic and invaluable work that hospices do to help care for those with chronic and terminal illnesses. The care and support the many wonderful staff at all the hospices throughout the UK provide is second to none. The emotional and physical support that hospices provide really do change lives. Without the help of charities such as Help the Hospices, this simply wouldn't happen and hundreds of thousands of children and families would suffer.

So please dig deep and donate whatever you can afford, your money really will make a difference.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
