My Dear Friends...

Thanks for taking the time to read this and for sponsoring me. I will be riding with several other completely crazy friends from Rosslare in the south of Ireland up to Dublin and Belfast and then across to Scotland and will finish at Murrayfield Stadium. A total of approximately 555 kilometers, across mountainous terrain and in freezing wet and windy weather. Yes, you all know that I am a lunatic!

Please take a second to look at the video and photographs. Once you have seen these you will understand why I have agreed to ride for these children. How could anyone say NO? Sue and I are blessed to have had two healthy children and cannot imagine the pain and suffering endured each day by these sweet innocent kids and their loving parents. The researchers throughout the world are so very close to finding a cure for this excruciatingly painful and debilitating, life threatening disease. These funds will help to bring this torment to an end. A cure is nigh, believe me.

EB - Epidermolysis Bullosa - is a genetic condition where the skin breaks at the slightest touch, causing painful, open blisters and wounds. EB can mean a life of extreme pain, disability and, at its worst it is fatal in infancy. People with severe EB are likely to contract a fatal skin cancer. DebRA provides specialist EB nursing, funds extensive medical research and provides counselling, welfare, respite and advocacy.

The beers are on me at the end of the ride!
