Hi guys,

I took part in the Palace to Palace event this year as part of a big contingent from Oracle, with a combined target of over £25,000.

For those that know me you may be thinking this barely justifies a chunk of change as it's not overly challenging, so with that in mind I made sure I beasted myself around the course (finishing 9th out of around 5000 riders in the 45 mile event), despite being quite unwell on the day.

Please donate generously knowing that I was absolutely hanging during the 'not race' and that my efforts ensured I was bed-ridden for a good chunk of the following week having made myself even more unwell ;-)

It's a great charity, giving disadvantaged kids some unique opportunities which focus on building life skills through experiences they'd never have without your support.

And it's the Prince's Trust.  The Prince's.  He'll be your best friend forever.  Probably even let you stay at Buckingham Palace if you miss the last train home.
