Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

UPDATE: UPDATE: UPDATE

Just 1 week until I start my journey - my target via this Just Giving page is £1000 - Please help me to reach it - I have spent many hours in the saddle during August and feel ready to take this challenge - Please help me to reach my overall goal of £3000 for this fantastic charity - One that we could all benefit from as we reach old age. Many thanks

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Firstly you will note that the event should have been in June but a drastic and fatal collision with Glastonbury weekend meant I had to switch to 9th September 2011 but unfortunately I cannot ammend the date at the top of the page

As an unfit 48 year old who has not gone further than the corner shop on a bike for over 20 years, this will be a real challenge to complete! I will be smashing the road (and my butt!!) for many long hours during August in a drastic attempt in getting fit - Already a certain part of my anatomy is feeling very delicate! Please lend me your support to encourage me to complete this challenge during the constant bike rides over the coming month.

Already there are return trips to Bristol planned plus a 90 mile, 10 Kodak Vision Centre visits in a single day planned.

This really is a worthwhile cause and every penny raised will help to fund vital eye research here in the UK that can deliver lifechanging results worldwide 

Fightforsight is a fantastic charity that does some amazing work and I am very proud to be associated with them.
