Story

A group of keen (very) cyclists and myself are cycling 525 miles from Blackpool to Paris over 7 days starting 26 Aug 23. This is the 10th anniversary of a similar ride and I have committed to cycle every mile this time and raise as much as I possibly can for the charity. This charity is very personal to myself and my partner as a close friend's health has been severely compromised by the lack of awareness and ability to diagnose Aspergillosis. So I'm hoping to raise a serious amount hence my high target. I've gone from 0 miles to 55 miles with hills in 9 weeks and I will be cycling an average 75 miles per day on the ride. Cycling is not my comfort zone so please contribute if you can and no amount is too small.

Raising awareness of aspergillosis amongst the general public.

Finding ways to ensure patients get the best possible information to help them manage the illness.

Increase the understanding of the condition amongst medical professionals.
