Story

Hello & welcome to my first ever JustGiving page!

 

 Over the years I have done a few adventures here & there, all of which have been hugely rewarding & challenging in their own way. However, I did not raise money for any of them. The difference with this trip is twofold; due to the magnitude of the journey (solo cycle from London – Hong Kong) I felt I would be able to make a considerable difference to my chosen charity, Breast Cancer Care. Also, late last year my Mum was diagnosed with Breast Cancer. Fortunately due to the care available to her, chemotherapy and 4 strapping men in the family (and 2 beautiful grandchildren) she is now fast on the road to recovery.

 

Going through chemotherapy is arduous, time-consuming, painful and drains the life out of you. She has been an absolute trooper throughout the treatments, enough so that she looked after me when I had a severe case of man-flu – a testament to her strength. We are all glad that the chemotherapy is now over and she can begin to recover properly with the love & support from her friends & family. Her resolution to not complain and keep a smile on her face has been admirable and a source of inspiration for myself & many others. I hope to use this inspiration when things get tough on the road.

 

Breast Cancer Care do fantastic work in providing help & care to people from all walks of life going through this illness - of which there are many. I would like to be able to raise as much money as possible for them, with your help of course, to ensure that they can continue to help many people who contract breast cancer. To find out more about Breast Cancer Care, please visit www.breastcancercare.org.uk.

 

Please dig deep to donate what you can. Any amount really will help, even if it is only lint covered change from the depths of your trousers/handbag/couch.

 

Thank you very much for your time!
