Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I really appreciate you clicking through after your amazing generosity supporting my half marathon effort earlier this year.

2018 is a year of challenges as not only will have run further than I ever have done - but I am also learning to cycle - on a deadline as I am taking part in Palace to Palace on Sunday 7th October!!! This in a way is a bigger challenge, as whilst I was bad at running, I could run and so far I have yet to ride 45 yards unaided let alone 45 miles with "wobbly" being an understatement to describe my riding style.

But the challenges I am facing are nothing compared to the people that the Princes Trust help - people like Simon who are completely inspirational in what they achieve with their life with help from the Princes Trust - when I heard his story, I knew I needed to "get on my bike" - find out more here:  https://www.princes-trust.org.uk/about-the-trust/success-stories/simon-hyett

Oh, I am beginning to hate the phrase:  "It is just like learning to ride a bike" and I ache in places that really cannot be mentioned! For that alone, I am truly grateful for your support for this great cause!

A huge thank you also to my friends who are supporting my endeavour, providing equipment (including a bike!), encouraging me or planning to ride with me but mostly for listening to my complaints... I hope these stop soon... and to Trevor who has to be the most patient instructor alive!
