Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My plan is very simple. From my home base in Eryri a town called Caernarfon I am going to complete five routes of 100+ miles each over a period of five days. Weather permitting I'll be starting off on the 4th of April. All routes will be recorded via garmin put on strava and photo's and video's will be posted. Links to be put on this page of routes etc.

I am raising money for cancer research uk, I am dedicating this challenge to my uncle robin who passed away at the end of Jan this year. Families should not have to lose loved ones to cancer anymore more so hopefully the money I raise will go towards stopping this from happening. 

Also as I will be turning 40 years young ;) on April the 20th this year hoping this bike ride will prove that age doesn't have to be a limit for your hopes and dreams. I have a weak left knee and problems with my left achillies, never been a fast cyclist but what I lack in speed I make up for in determination and an Iron will that I will get to the end of this and make hopefully my uncle, my friends and the people that donated and offered support proud.

Thanks again for taking the time to read my page :)
