On 9th of September 2012, I'm joining the 'Tour de Ian' cycling team and cycling from Glasgow to Edinburgh in memory of my friend Ian Porter. It's a fitting tribute to a man who managed to complete the same route two years ago on a fixed gear bike and in between bouts of chemotherapy.

We're raising money for Maggie's Centres, who provided such valuable support to Ian and his family during his illness. Any donations are gratefully received.

(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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.)
