Hello family and friends. I started cycling around 6 months ago now before this I hadn't ridden a bike for over 15 years. Since I started I have always intended one day to raise money for charities and this will be my first one. I've gone from riding 17 miles to 25 miles a week which has really improved my fitness and the longest distance I have ridden is 30 miles. My training has been interrupted by a severe ankle injury and I have only just managed to do a short ride again. I have now taken on this challenge to push myself to cycle 54 miles from London to Brighton I would be really grateful if you could sponsor me to raise money for such a fantastic cause. Matt x
