My story

 

I’m facing the biggest physical challenge of my life!  Cycling 100 miles in two days along the South Downs Way doesn’t sound like much.  But the climbs add up to nearly 12,000 feet.  So it’s a challenge!

Why do it? This event is one of several organised by Reigate & Redhill YMCA to raise money for their Challenge Fund, including the Yippee Club which our daughter Bryony loves to attend. Two years ago I raised £1,000 for the Yippee Club by cycling 230 miles to Brussels. I’ve been training since February to get the muscles back into shape and now it’s time to send out the emails.  Thanks for visiting this page and please give generously.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to Reigate & Redhill YMCA and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer.

 
Thank you very much for your support.  I’ll send out some pictures once I’ve recovered from the ride.
