4 years - 4 years I have broken a promise to come and support a good friend, perhaps a rascal, but most of all a great guy who has championed this research after watching his dad suffer.  So on Year 5 I have to commit.

The challenge involves riding a bike down hill lots and lots until you collect 8,848m.  You are aided by a chairlift back up the hill.  What is so hard?  I have thought this a lot about many things in life and have had many things shoved back in my face!  Its physically tough.  I have done the opposite, riding up the height of Everest but going down will be just as tough especially given I am pretty well right out of shape....big time.   There will be some huffing and a lot of puffing but its all for a good cause. 

So please miss two pints this week or next and put a pound or two by my name.  Its easy through this site.
