It has been a while since I last pestered you for sponsorship. As I move ever closer to a world of Zimmer frames and stairlifts, I've joined Team CHSS for a virtual bike ride to raise some funds. Hope you can support us.

The team is led by keen cyclist Scott Hutchinson, who survived a stroke just 3 years ago. During his recovery Scott couldn’t wait to get back on his bike and was fortunate to be back cycling within weeks. 

We are doing a virtual cycling challenge on Sunday 17th January, taking on the Uber Pretzel on Zwift (like a Wii game, but more painful). At just under 80 miles and slightly less than 8,000 feet of climbing, it is currently the toughest ride on Zwift, so don’t worry it will hurt.

Please can you sponsor me to do the training so that I don’t hold everyone else up on the day? With luck, my employer will boost what I raise for this important cause.

Thanks very much, John
