I am attempting to ride 235 miles around Yorkshire in May because?!! I am an idiot!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.having just turned 55 and not having ridden a bike for 40 years I have foolishly taken on this challenge!

Training has started. As well as raising money for such good causes I hope to lose weight and get fit! For every pound raised 50p will go to YAH and 50p to Huddersfield Town Academy.

I have not asked for sponsorship since I was a Scout so hope you can donate something however small (or large!) in recognition of my efforts. You will make an old man very happy!

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
