Hi Everyone,

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page, and please do not leave without leaving just a little something for my blisters ;) 

Im embarking on a very challenging event and we are the first people to ever have done this particular challenge, and are doing 580 miles over 6 days cycling from the Bristol Trader in Haverfordwest to the Eiffel tower in Paris. 

WHY?????

Exactly why?????

We are all driven by our own individual stories, and the three charities that will benefit from this event are Pembrokeshire National Autistic Society, Riding for The Disabled, and Prostate Cymru. Three amazing Charities who give so much to the people of Pembrokeshire in so many different ways.

For me personally, Im driven by my son Fletcher, he is my inspiration, he is my best friend and he is an amazing little man who has Autism, and I would not want to change him for the world, what we are though is very fortunate that Fletcher is very independent and loves to play football and rugby, but there are many children who can't, and thats why I'm so dedicated to helping our very our branch of the National Autistic Society in Pembrokeshire, these amazing volunteers most who have children on the Autistic Spectrum, provide support, activities and promote value to young people with Autism and provide an service to parents that is priceless as far as I'm concerned. We are aiming big as a group and set a target of £30,000 that is £10,000 for each charity which will be massive, this will assist so many less fortunate people than ourselves, so when i have no more energy, and struggling to get up that hill on my bike, I will be thinking of every person who would love to swop and do what I'm doing, this will be my motivator, knowing I'm going to be helping so many young people.

Prostate Cymru is another charity which is amazing and my Dad passed away in 2010 suddenly, and he also had Prostate Cancer and was due to under go surgery before he passed away, so this is a vital resource that i know will be something that somebody will know an individual or friend, family member who has suffered from this.

The RDA, again is another amazing charity providing opportunity for young adults and children to express themselves through equine therapy, these people are fantastic and need our help, and we are all determined to succeed  in making this an event that will be yes challenging but most importantly rewarding, by us contributing to the funding required to keep these charities running.

PLEASE DIG DEEP AND DONATE ANY AMOUNT IS IMPORTANT AND I WOULD LIKE TO THANK YOU ALL IN ADVANCE AND CAN ASSURE YOU I WILL COMPLETE THIS CHALLENGE AND WILL BE PROVIDING A BLOG OF MY TRAINING SHORTLY AND THE EVENT ITSELF.

MANY THANKS GUYS
