Story

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm hoping to raise some money for the British Heart Foundation in memory of Padraic Burke, a dear friend and colleague.

I'm participating in the Silk Road Mountain Race 2022 on 12th August, cycling across Kyrgyzstan. It's a unsupported high altitude 1900 km off-road race with 37,000 m of climbing.

So, it's a challenge... and typically only a third complete the course, so it's far from guaranteed. I'm best on flat tarmac at sea level ... so no probs...! :) 

Padraic would be fully supportive as he always was when it came to adventure!

Here's a link to the official website for more info, and a link to my tracker when it becomes live.
