This year I'm joining an intrepid group of cyclists - The Badgers - on their annual fundraising ride for the most incredible charity, Action Medical Research. Between 5th & 9th June 2024 I'm going to attempt to keep up with the hardiest Badgers and ride over 450km (280miles) with over 6,200 metres (20,500 feet) of vertical ascent on the mountainous volcanic island of Sicily, including one day with a double ascent of the active volcano Mt. Etna planned.

ALL costs associated with this trip have been covered out of my own pocket - 100% of your donation will go to Action!

Action Medical Research is an outstanding charity which has changed countless lives for the better: If you know someone who has ever had an ultrasound scan then you know someone whose life has been touched by the work of Action - and today their work is more necessary than ever.

Action Medical Research is the leading UK-wide charity saving and changing children’s lives through medical research. For 65 years we’ve helped pioneer ways to prevent disease and develop treatments benefiting millions of people. Our research has helped to beat polio in the UK, develop ultrasound, fight meningitis and prevent stillbirths. But we urgently need to develop more new treatments and cures for sick babies and children and we can’t do it without you.

Join our fight for little lives.
