Only a few weeks training left before the challenge is on! You can continue to sponsor me the whole time I'm in china cycling if toe would like to help raise a bit more! Thanks again everyone- I've loved the fundraising thanks to all you good guys who have helped out and been so supportive. Xx

<p class="iPhoneUpdate">The Pirate Party Night was a great success - thanks to all of you who helped to top up the charity treasure chest!! As you can see - we have hit the target, but we still have till the end of Feb to raise as much as we can for this amazing charity - every penny counts and can help make a real difference!!!</p> <p><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>Thanks for taking the time to visit my&nbsp;web page.&nbsp;&nbsp;<span style="color: #ff1493;">A big thanks to all of you who have supported me so far!!</span></strong></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><span style="color: #800080;"><strong>In May 2011 I will be joining Professor Robert Winston on a 450 km charity cycle in the &nbsp;Beijing province, China to fund groundbreaking medical research undertaken at the Wolfson and Weston Research Centre for Family Health, which is based in London.&nbsp; </strong></span></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="color: #800080; font-family: Calibri;"><strong>Funds raised will help to improve prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a range of devastating conditions which cause genetic diseases, miscarriage, infertility, cancer and brain damage. The prevalence&nbsp;of difficulities experienced is quite&nbsp;shocking and very real:&nbsp; &nbsp;1 in 18 babies are born prematurely,&nbsp; 1 in 4 women miscarries her baby, 1 in 175 babies are stillborn and up to 250 babies are dying every week in the UK&nbsp; from complications during pregnancy. &nbsp;&nbsp;Taking part in &ldquo;Cycle China&rdquo; is my&nbsp;way of helping to&nbsp;reduce these figures and ensure that more women go on to have a normal pregnancy, giving birth to a healthy baby . &nbsp;I feel this is a real worthwhile cause, so if you can help&nbsp; me by making a donation I would be really grateful.&nbsp; </strong></span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
