I'm once again pulling on Lyrca in order to take part in the annual Foundation of Light Cycle Challenge. This year we're cycling from Geneva to Mulhouse, France, at total of more than 280 miles over four days. We'll be climbing more than 20,500ft - it will be tough.

I'd be grateful for any support you can give me - the charity does some amazing work in north east communities, using the power of football to inspire young and old.

Thank you.
