So... I appear to have signed up for a casual charity cycle ride. Fully supported, hotels and meals included. A "walk in the park" some may say, "easy" and "just like a free holiday".

The details:

- 500 gruelling miles
- 2500 minutes in the saddle
- 25,000 calories burned
- 170,000 hard turns of the pedal
- Over a 5 day period
- From Edinburgh to London
- Not so easy.

The reason I am putting myself through this? The company I work for  support an amazing charity called Missing People. They are the ONLY dedicated charity to provide a critical lifeline to family members when a loved one disappears. Having attended some of their fundraising events in the past, I have seen first hand the good work they do, and what a geniunely worthwhile cause they are for.

And on that note...  I NEED YOUR HELP!

My challenge is to raise £2000 to allow this great cause to continue, and to allow them to carry on providing this important lifeline to people and families.

Any amount you donate to my fund, no matter how small, will be genuinely appreciated, both by myself, and Missing People.

For more information on them either visit our Team page, or their website:

For a RIDICULOUSLY easy way of donating - please text "TOBY 86" and the amount to 70070. Eg. "TOBY 86 £5" and send to 70070. Even just £1 would be a HUGE help! You can then add a message, and it will appear on this page too! :-)
