From Saturday 16th January I shall be virtually cycling from London to Paris (10 miles a day for 30 days - finishing on Valentines Day - 14th Feb) for this great cause.  My exercise bike was bought in the first lockdown in 2020 and has been used to dry clothes ever since...until now.

Please support me by sponsoring me as much as you can.  Those of you that know me know that I last rode a bike in about 1980 so although 10 miles per day may not seem a lot, it is for me!  

My route (16^th January to 14^th February):

• Day 1 to 8 - Starting from the Royal Observatory in Greenwich I will be travelling from London to Dover (Approx 80 Miles)
  
• Day 9 - Ferry Crossing to Calais (and a few Stella Artois)
• Day 9 to 16 - Calais to Abbeville (Approx 78 Miles)
• Day 17 to 23 – Alongside the River Somme to Beauvais (Approx 70 Miles)
• Day 24 to 30 – The final leg to Paris, arriving at the Eiffel Tower on 14^th February!  (Approx 60 Miles)

J'aime Paris !  Merci à tous!

Please read on to learn about Archie:

Archie passed away on Wednesday 13th June 2018 aged 2 years and 10 months, with his Mummy and Daddy lying in bed with him, holding his little hands. They read him his two favourite bedtime stories and at the end he opened his eyes, they squeezed his hands, told him they loved him and he just stopped breathing.Archie fought like a lion over the previous ten months (we all did), but some fights cant be won no matter how much you give. If only they could Archie had been fighting high risk neuroblastoma, a rare and aggressive childhood cancer since his second birthday. At diagnosis, scans showed that it was in all the long bones in his body, his skull and his bone marrow, and he was given a 50% chance of survival.Archie was the most remarkable little boy hilariously funny, kind, absolutely beautiful and brave far beyond his years. His Grandad always described him as a masterpiece. He was right.

Thank you all xxx
