Story

Thank you sincerely for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page, I really hope you read on and sponsor me because truly, every little bit helps.

I chose Macmillan as they cared for both my Dad & Brother while being an invaluable support to the family, right through to the end and were totally fabulous! One day it could be me... or you... or worse still, a loved one.

Choosing to cycle from London to Brighton in June and then London to Paris in July is by far the biggest challenge I have ever taken on or ever likely to. The latter is over 3 days with tough hilly terrain covering nearly 300 miles. Day 2 replicates a long stage from the Tour de France and is 119 miles in one day!

The 18 week training schedule has only just begun and as some of you may have seen on my Facebook page, is already grueling and painful. By the end of the training I will be cycling at least 14 hours a week to be prepared for the 8 hours of cycling a day required!

Monitor my progress via Strava and Facebook updates and spur me on with a donation PLEASE xxx
