Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Last year, many of you were kind enough to sponsor me for my 2009 Kidney Challenge in which I walked the 80 miles of the Wolds Way, less than a year after being lucky enough to receive my Kidney Transplant.

I'm really pleased to report that my new kidney is still going strong and as I've continued to reap the benefits in terms of my own health, I thought I'd pick up the pace and size of my fundraising challenge for 2010.

This year, me and a group of fellow bankers (no puns please!!) are aiming to cycle coast to coast from Whitehaven to Sunderland; covering 150 miles, including the hills of the lake district, in just 3 days.

All contributions and support, even just words of encouragement, would be greatly appreciated.

Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.
