On the 19th June (170th day of the year), to mark 170 years of Boots, I will be cycling 170 miles from London to Nottingham along with 30 colleagues to raise money for Macmillan Cancer Support.

Clearly this is a silly distance to attempt in one go and there's a lot of trepidation about whether it's even possible for my legs to carry me that far. Please help me to ease the saddle sores, the (very) weary legs and the aching back by donating if you can to this very worthwhile charity.

As an added bonus, my employer Boots will match fund every pound I raise from this challenge, so every pound you donate is doubled for Macmillan.
