This is my second charity cycle for the British Lung Foundation prior to the ATS Conference and this time we are going further than ever (150 miles) in a much hotter climate, not to mention the risk of alligators! The route is through Louisiana, starting in St Francisville then down to Baton Rouge, through Louisiana State University then criss-crossing the Mississippi all the way down to New Orleans (or N'awlins as they say). Over the years, these charity cycle rides have raised an estimated £25,000 for the BLF, so let's keep up the good work.

The British Lung Foundation aims to find solutions to lung disease by funding word-class medical research, provide support to those living with a lung condition, provide information on lung disease to patients their carers and the public.

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.
