Michael Palin did 'Pole to Pole' - and I'm now doing 'Poole to Poole' - so on Sunday 14th August, I will be setting off from the chain ferry slipway at Poole to start my 5,300+ mile anti-clockwise, solo, self supported bike ride round the coast of Great Britain including all the major English, Scottish and Welsh islands I can think of (recommendations appreciated)

Hoping to get back by the end of December - so will see sun, rain and snow as I pedal my way round our great and beautiful country.

I'm doing it to create awareness of - and funds for - the Alzheimer's Society.

My gorgeous Mum - Joycee - is terribly ill with this awful illness and I see more and more friends being impacted by their family members falling victim to its clutches.

It is a terrifying illness for those who have it - and for those who love and care for them. Peter - my amazing Father - is now a 24x7 carer for Joycee and anything I can do to help them and ALL other sufferers is incredibly important.

I guarantee that you - or someone incredibly close to you will become a victim of Alzheimer's.That is not a throw away statement. It's fact!

Funding is very limited, research is expensive, care is hard to source and even harder to pay for.

Before you turn away, think how you would feel if the person or people closest to you started to show signs of Alzheimer's.................. how scared would they be? How scared would you be? Where woul you turn for help and support? How much would you pay to help them?............
