Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving Ride4Peace page.
On Sunday, 1st June 2014, I'm taking on the tremendous challenge of cycling over 600 miles and climbing 35,000 feet from Scotland to London to raise awareness for Peace and also money for 2 amazing charities.
The Ride4Peace will take me through: Glasgow - Middlesbrough - North Yorkshire - Sheffield - Manchester - Birmingham - Middlesex - London - Surrey.
I am raising money via MKA UK for Humanity First and the British Heart Foundation. All proceeds will be split equally between both.
So I started my training in Mid-March and since then I have stopped driving my car and started commuting by bicycle to work. I also put my beloved motorbike up for sale. This is a complete lifestyle change.
In April I bought a road bike and I am training as much as I possibly can. It is very tough sometimes, especially with the current UK weather - rain, wind and cold.
I am not an athlete, and I will not win a gold medal. But by getting on my bike and pushing myself to my absolute limits, I believe that I can do something very good and make a difference.
I hope you can be a part of my journey by sponsoring me. As a team we are looking to raise £30,000 and as an individual i am aiming to raise £1,000.
Thank you.
