So for those of you who know me, know that I like running. Whilst watching the Olypmic cycling, I suddenly became inspired and after having 1 to many, I decided to sign up for the London to Paris Bike Ride in April 2013.

Now, at this point I didn't even have a bike, I am not at cycling at all, so this is going to be a massive challenge for me.

My moto has always been the same, all the time everything is working on me and I can raise money, then I shall do the very best I can to help people who require it.

As you may also be aware I volunteer and raise money for the Woking and Sam Beare Hospice. The reason I do this, is because the Hospices have looked after friends of mine, the ones that have gone and the ones who were left behind to say goodbye to loved ones. I feel these Hospices help so much.............

The people who work there are absolutely amazing and they need our help to fund and continue all their good work.

So all you haev to do is 'click donate' and pledge a small amount. Let me do the hard work riding 300 miles (I am MAD - I know)

However I have two lovely friends also riding with me and who have also decided to embark on these amazing challenge, so I want to say thank you to Sam Molnar and Stu Kidd for taking this on and for joining me.

Anyway guys - its time to start training.........

Peace and Love Nicola x
