In September 2014 I will cycle 969 miles from Land's End to John O'Groats, as part of the Ride Across Britain event.

The event will take place over 9 days, averaging over 100 miles a day. I plan to raise £3,800 for Alzheimer's Society, which is Lloyds Banking Group's Charity of the Year.

24 other colleagues from LBG will also compete in the event bringing our expected team fundraising total to around £95,000.

1 in 3 people over the age of 65 will develop dementia. By supporting this fabulous charity you'll help to improve the lives of many people, but why stop there?
