My Mum & Dad both passed away from heart related ilnesses. It really makes you stop and think about how vulnerable we all are - but also that we can take action.

So I'm taking a double pronged attack. Getting my heart healthy through cycling, and raising funds through...cycling!!

Slightly worried as I feel my heart might actually need some of the funds, I'm so unfit. But I'm working at it...6 weeks to go...

My training partner is Stacey and we are planning lots of other ways to raise more money to add to the grand total. She's an epic motivator - and everso slighly fitter than me so there's a challenge right there :)

You know how it works people - give as much as you can possibly afford to a great cause. And wish us luck!
