At the end of July I hope to achieve a lifelong dream and cycle the length of Britain. I'll be aiming to complete it in 12 days, averaging 80 miles per day, cycling solo and carrying all of my own camping gear.

I have a personal connection with Alzheimer's Society, having lost my mum to this cruel disease after watching her decline over several years. My parents always loved cycling, enjoying many cycling holidays in their youth, and my Mum always did the shopping on her bike.

Anything you can donate will be awesome, and my emplyer, EDF, have pledged to match whatever I raise.
