My story

On July 7th my Dad and I are attempting to cycle to Paris. From London. I say attempting - he'll be succeeding, I'll definitely be struggling...

Regardless, I'll be doing my best to complete the 230 mile ride to raise money for Heart Research UK,  a wonderful charity which has funded the improvement of treatment and techniques to help people affected by heart disease. Currently around 2.7 million people live with heart disease every day, but thanks to the hard work of charities like Heart Research UK, they are living longer and healthier lives. 

I'm attempting to raise £1000 to help them with their work. I'd really appreciate your donations, as I know they will. Every penny I raise will push me on to keep cycling...for four straight days...60 miles a day...aaaargh!!

You can follow my route here, make a donation, and see my willpower rapidly declining over 4 days, in pictures! 

So please dig deep and donate now. 'Every little helps!' (thanks Tesco).

Love, 

Ella


My charity

Heart Research UK

Heart Research UK

Charity Registration No. 1044821

For over 45 years, Heart Research UK has funded pioneering research into the prevention, treatment and cure of heart disease. Many things that we now take for granted, such as heart valves, angioplasty would not have been developed without our help.
