This is my first time EVER doing something like this! It's going to be a challenge, but I'm very excited to be taking it on, and fully expect to ball my eyes out once I get to the finish line..!

The backstory: my company (Edwards) have sponsored this event for 11 years now. Every year, our colleagues join up to 100 others in cycling over 200 miles from Somerset to Cornwall in July, in aid of the Children's Hospice South-West, to help raise vital funds to support and care for children and young people living with life-limiting conditions, and their families.

This year, I am one of the colleagues taking on this challenge, and am feeling really proud to support such a wonderful cause alongside my comrades.

I need to get to £1200, so any donations will be gratefully received. Thank you to you all <3
