Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is my first attempt at any sort of sponsored anything and instead of starting small and working my way up to a larger challenge I am going in big with this one!

The challenge is to ride from London to Paris over a 4 day period in September 2018 - thats 300 miles.

My current cycling skills are pretty non existent - the last time I used a bike on a regular basis was for my paper round when I was 14, thats 20 years ago!

I will be posting training updates on all of my social media accounts so that you can all feel sorry for me, but also know that I am working hard for your sponsorship.

The plan is to invest in a new bike which will make training possible, bike technology has moved on in the last 20 years and so should my bike....

Your donations will not only mean a great deal to the charity but will also really help me during the event to not give up when my legs are aching!

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.
