Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

When Racing was suspended at the start of the first Lockdown - just like lots of people in the game - I didn't know where my next work and pay packet was coming from. 

I was lucky. We got through those first few months and I was back on air and back earning. Not everyone was so fortunate. Racing Welfare has been there to step in and offer support to all sorts of people throughout the wide world of British Racing. Just as they are always there week in week out, year in year out for anyone and everyone in Racing who needs help.

I promised myself back then that, if the opportunity arose, I would do whatever I could to raise funds to support this amazing charity. Covid has meant that not only are demands on their services high, opportunities for fundraising have often been lost or cancelled.

This challenge is a lot tougher than anything I was anticipating! I like riding my bike but I've never done anything anywhere near as tough as this. I'm training hard and taking it very seriously. We're riding 500 miles in 5 days. From Carlisle to Newton Abbott and doing some serious climbing along the way: about 30,000 feet's worth in total. It's a real challenge but a very worthwhile one.

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.
