I set up this just giving page in Jan 2018 as I intended to run the Lincoln 10k in March, which was cancelled due to weather. 

Due to personal circumstances, I wasn't able to run the 10k when it was rearranged in July.

I chose to support Mind mental health charity, they are very close to my heart for many reasons.

I felt like a fraud as I'd taken all this sponsorship and not completed anything in return so I signed up to cycle the 30k mountain bike loop at the Belchford Box event which I completed on Sunday 17th September 2017. I hadn't been on a bicycle for a good 10+ years before I started training in August.

I did the bike ride alongside my brother Jack, it was very difficult and majority of it was off road, however zooming down hills on two wheels looking over the Lincolnshire wolds made me feel like I was on top of the world.

Without the support of my friends and generous donations to this wonderful charity, I wouldn't have embarked on this, so thank you all so much for kind words and encouragement. Also thanks to Jack for loaning me his bicycle and for doing this with me.

Here is a link to Mind website, mental health affects almost everyone at some point, directly or indirectly. It is everyones business.
