UPDATE
We finished! The ride was really tough this year. Much harder route and blazing heat. But it was an amazing challenge and a life changing experience. We rode with the Fireflies motto, 'For those who suffer, we ride'...and ride we did.
Massive thank you to all who sponsored. Your money will make a big difference.
Allez le Flies.

This will be my third epic ride with The Fireflies. I'm again riding 1,000km+ over the Alps with raising much needed support for Leuka, a Leukaemia charity based at London's Hammersmith Hospital. From Geneva to Cannes this is a ride and a half. Long day on day slogs up some of Europe's toughest climbs. We'll climb over 90,000ft and only have eight days to complete it.
This year I ride with the experience of Leukaemia hitting my family. I'm more determined than ever to raise money and awareness of Leuka's work and ask you to please support Leuka and sponsor me.
The ride is financed by the riders - your donations all go to Leauka.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Leuka will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.
So please sponsor me now!
Many thanks for your support.
