As many of you know, I am a bit of a cycling fan and have decided to up my game and, being close to half a century, challenge myself to complete this endurance event. It's self-supported and I've allowed 2 weeks to complete it but hope to make the finishers event on Day 10.

Whilst this is not a charity event, it seems the perfect opportunity to try and raise money for a worthwhile cause.

My father-in-law fought cancer for 4 years before needing the care at St Barnabas. St Barnabas House is a charity based in Worthing which provides palliative and end of life care to adults with life-limiting illnesses. We believe everyone facing life-limiting illness should receive the care and support they deserve. Our mission is to provide dignity, comfort and choice for adults who need specialised, supportive care. Your generous support helped to provide specialist supportive care for 1,786 local people and their families at the hospice and in the comfort of their own homes last year.
