Update June 27th 2022
It’s now less than a month to go before I attempt the London to Paris bike ride. With 1,463km training done as well as 463km running, numerous weights and yoga sessions I feel ready to go!
I’m close to my target so hopefully a Facebook push will get me there!
Thanks to all who have supported me so far including my amazing wife Kerry!
UPDATE: Now we're through this pandemic the ride is back on! Training has been going well and year to date I've managed 27 rides totalling 1,018km.
I reach a milestone birthday this year (my 50th! ahem) and I've decided to go for a challenge that I've always wanted to do. The opportunity came along when a group of friends got together to support a great cause that means so much to many of them. Great Ormond Street Hospital needs no introduction as a charity as it is known throughout the world as a leading hospital for children. Over the years I've known many people who have needed the services they've offered for their families. I'm immensely proud to be able to represent this hospital and help raise money so that they can continue to provide life changing services to thousands of families. Please help me achieve my goal which goes towards helping many others. Thank you!
