Why am I cycling 45 miles? Well, for a start it's easier than running a marathon. At least I hope it is.

It's also for a fantastic cause. I had the privilege of attending The Prince's Trust 2016 awards earlier this year, and I am not ashamed to say I shed a tear or two. The young people who were honoured that day were an inspiration.

There are plenty more like them across the UK. Young people who need a helping hand to get their lives back on track.

If I had to run just over 26 miles to help the Trust I would. But I have a choice. So I am cycling. The people I want to help often don't have a choice. So help me to help The Prince's Trust help them.

Thank you.
