I must be mad, but I have decided that on the 12th of September 2010, I am going to join lots of other cyclists and cycle from Glasgow to Edinburgh as part of pedal for scotland, in aid of "Maggie's".

It would be great if you could manage to sponsor me and help me raise money for this great charity.

My family have been affected by cancer through numerous generations, and the work of "Maggie's" is to help reduce the hardship cancer brings on the sufferer and the family at the time when it's most relevant... now!

I know the summer sees lots of people asking you to sponsor them for various events, but I truly believe Maggie's is a worthy cause and I see so often, how much it helps those affected by cancer.
