Shortly after his birth, my beautiful nephew Beau was diagnosed with a rare chromosome disorder, 15q duplication syndrome. Being so young, it is difficult to know what the long-term effects of his diagnosis will be on both his and his family's life. That uncertainty is difficult to manage and takes a toll on any family going through a similar journey. That's why I am helping to raise money for Unique, a brilliant charity that looks to help families manage a rare chromosome or single gene disorder. Any help would be much appreciated by Beau, his family and all the other families throughout the UK caring for their little ones.

I will be leading a group of fifteen riders setting off from Bond Street to Avenue Montaigne in Paris over three days. Here's hoping for good weather, smiles for miles and quiet roads.
