Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

It's simple really this is one of those ways to raise money for a great local cause and to challenge myself. If you live anywhere near Milton Keynes then I'm sure you will have heard of Willen Hospice. If like me you knew a little about what they do and were surprised to hear that over 75% of the funding comes from donations then you will see this is a worthy cause. Just visit visit http://www.willen-hospice.org.uk/ and see how much they help families.

I'm no cyclist, certainly not in build, so this will be a real challenge. I'm really glad to say that none of the donations will go towards the cost of the ride, 100% will go towards the charity as we are funding our own costs. This will be a physical and mental challenge to be able to complete the long days in the saddle. For example our first day is planned to be 122 miles, that is a very long time to be on a bike, but it does at least mean that only 623 miles are remaining (positive thinking!). If you would like to know more about the ride and the challenge then please ask. It is certainly going to be tough and I would welcome your support. 

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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
