I DID IT!!!!! On Monday 9th February, I successfully completed my challenge (see below). I did the whole 21 miles on the bike in 10 days. I originally intended to do some running as well but the snow stood in my way of that - perhaps a blessing in disguise! This page will continue to take donations until 27th May, so if you haven't already, please donate and support The Prince's Trust.

Hi all. I'll try and make this brief - I don't want to bore you with details, I just want you to know what I'm doing, why I'm doing it and for you to sponsor me!

I'm part of a team (Team Awesome) on the Graduate Program at my company, CSC, who have been set a challenge to raise at least £700 in 6 weeks for the Prince's Trust. As part of this challenge, we are each undertaking individual, sponsored challenges and this page is about mine. What I am doing is a combination of running and cycling the distance across the English Channel in the space of 10 days. Fair enough, some people have swam the thing in one go, but I am no David Walliams. I have less than 2 weeks to prepare for this, have never been to the gym in my life and have done very little intense physical exercise since high school so for me, this really will be a challenge. And hopefully the start of me getting fit, which I have been saying I'll do for ages! I'm going to start on 31st January and finish on 9th February. If I've underestimated myself for this challenge (unlikely) and I complete the distance with time to spare, I'm just gonna keep going and beat the target by as much as I possibly can. I'm going to keep a video diary as well to show you how much I'm struggling! I'll upload them to my Facebook group http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=46369207457.
