**DUE TO COVID EVENT CANCELLATION, THE RIDE WILL NOW TAKE PLACE ON THE 7TH SEPTEMBER 2022** 🙏🤞

Hey, thanks for visiting my page!  I will be attempting to cycle from London to Paris to raise much needed funds for the Mental Health Foundation.

I will keep this short...

I have completed a fair few events over the years, all for various charities, but always for causes that have touched my life in some way.

This time I am fundraising for a cause that has affected me and the people I love directly.  Poor mental health not only destroys the lives of the sufferer but also ruins the lives of the people around them!  It literally consumes every aspect of your life, robbing you of all self worth and hapiness, leaving only negativity & self deprecation.  

It's time the stigma was lifted from mental illness, it is nothing to be ashamed of and reaching out for help needs to be encouraged.  We are not admitting defeat and it is NOT a sign of weakness to do so, asking for help is refusing to give up!  Too many people suffer in silence, afraid of what others will think or say and this needs to change!

I am proud to say that I finally feel well on my way to recovery and could not have achieved this without the love and support of family, friends and colleagues. 

There are many organisations and people who are ready to help, we just need the courage to reach out and connect.  

No matter how alone and isolated you feel, never be afraid to ask for help!

If you are able to support this amazing charity and the life saving work it provides, then as always, I will be eternally grateful!

Thank you from the bottom of heart :)
