Having just returned from an exciting and sometimes challenging cycling tour of Cuba, I am now training for a challenge of a very different kind. On 11th June I am going to do a 60mile/100k charity ride in the Brecon Beacons, so there will be a few hills to climb! I have pledged to raise £300 for Macmillan and I am sure I can do this with your help and generosity. Over the last few years we have lost cousin Gill, brother-in-law Simon and father-in-law John, and also our close friend Judi Willett. They all faced their final illness with fortitude and dignity and it is in their memory that I am doing this ride, together with Mike and Sonja Bell.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.Fundraising is hugely important to Macmillan. Without people doing events, running marathons, climbing mountains, and donating in all the other ways that you can, Macmillan wouldn’t exist.Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs.
