Story

It's happening! I'm sure you are reading this with a smile because if you know me, you know this is completely out of character. I've never been sporty and i'm usually the one making a donation whilst one of my friends decides to do something brilliant for a good cause.

Earlier this year I took part in a local cycling club's Couch to 50k initiative and along the way have met some wonderful friends. It's also inspired me to try something completely out of my comfort zone, so here we are!

I've chosen to support the British Heart Foundation as my wonderful Dad had a scare earlier this year and whilst he is luckily on the road to recovery my family and I are aware that things could have ended very differently. So, i'm doing it for him and the millions of other families affected each year by heart and circulatory disease in the UK.

Times are tough right now but if you could spare the cost of a cup of coffee to spur me on my way I promise I won't let you down. 

Thank you so much :)
