Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Personal tragedies are not new and I'm no different in this regard to a lot of other people. My son (Liam) always had a connection to bikes, hence in his name I'm doing the Paris to London bike ride (286mls). I'm also hoping that any funds raised will help families in their time of need. All expenses, (travel, accommodation, food etc),  incurred during the challenge will be paid by myself hence all proceeds donated will go direct to Clic Sargent.

Planned dates are the 28th June - 1st July.

Page is called the 15,000 mile challenge, given i'm part of a wider team effort (see TEAM Page).

It's been a while since I would call myself fit, hence your support in pushing me along the way would be much appreciated.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
