On 17 July 2013 I will be starting a cycle ride to Paris with the aim of raising as much money for the charity Sense as possible – my target is £1,500.  You can read all about their work here (http://www.sense.org.uk/) but essentially they provide an incredible amount of support to children and adults with deafblindness.  My own nephew Jack suffers from deafness and whilst not directly involved with this charity, it’s charities such as this and other institutions that help children and their families in an incalculable way.

If you can spare even the smallest amount it would make a huge difference to the charity and the peoples lives they help.  Thank you for your support.

I will of course be providing updates and pictures along the route and keeping you abreast of every injury I collect.  As an added incentive and for those that like to see me put my hand in my pocket, I'll be giving 50p for every £1 donated.  An opportunity for you to bankrupt me as well as laugh at me in lycra.
