Update

WIth just a few days of fund rasing left before the ride, the 'training camp' in Corfu (see photographic evidence below) complete, fund raising is going well. Please note HSBC will match every £1 of the first £500 raised, so not far off £1000. Thank you to all sponsors so far

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page; hopefully you will see that this is a seriously worthwhile cause.

At HSBC Commercial banking in South West and Wales, we have chosen 2 charities, Latch and The Grand Appeal, to work with in 2013. In support of these 2 fantastic charities, we are cycling from Swansea to Land End (around 450 miles in all) over 7 days. Each day we will be cycling between 45 and 75 miles; I am therefore preparing myself for some seriously aching muscles and soreness...

Both charities do great work with unwell children and provide great assistance to their families during difficult times. You can find out more on the team Just Giving pages linked to my own.

I really hope you can dig deep and donate what you can to help me support both of these charities. 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. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

PS. Any messages of support are greatly appreciated...as are any tips for avoiding/minimising saddle soreness!!
