When I retired I decided I wanted a challenge.....

How does 980 miles of cycling in 9 days sound!

From September 7 to 15 this year I take on one of the most iconic cycle rides - Lands End to John O'Groats.

I am self funding the challenge, but also want to raise funds for charity, and have chosen The Prince's Trust which makes a positive difference for young people across the UK:

£10 could fund a call to the helpline, enabling a vulnerable young person to gain the critical advice they need.

£40 could provide a young person in poverty with interview clothes to help them secure stable employment.

A donation of £500 could support up to 10 young people to travel to work before their first pay cheque, unlocking and sustaining inspiring careers.

And remember, all your donations go to the Princes Trust, not paying for my ride!
