Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

2017 was a pivotal year, I turned 50 in the February and in the June a friend invited me to take part in his Cycling Ale Trail, which filled me with dread but it was the wake call I needed to lose weight and get fitter. I joined a Slimming World group and started going out on my bike regularly. Now I'm almost three stone lighter and love going out cycling around the Cheshire countryside.

In September 2018 I completed the Cancer Research 300 mile Cycling Challenge and wanted to go one further this year ... so with the encouragement of my cycling mentors, Pete Ellis and Martin Williams, I've decided to embark on my own Summertime Cycling Challenge - I am hoping to cycle 3000 miles in six months (1st April to 30th September)

For almost 20 years I've been the Treasurer of the Nantwich Christie Hospital Support Group; a group of friends who have been organising fundraising events for The Christie since 1993, so choosing a charity to benefit from my challenge was easy.
