My story
The Fred Whitton Four Seasons Challenge is a 112 mile cycling 'sportive' in the Lake District.
It includes the six main Passes - Kirkstone, Honister, Newlands, Whinlatter, Hardknott and Wrynose - and has a reputation for being pretty tough!
So why choose to cycle it 10 times?
Because I CAN!
I am reasonably fit and healthy, and I am not averse to putting myself through some physical and emotional hardship.
Some people don't have that option. And cancer can effect anyone at any time.
The incredible work and support that Macmillan provide can make a huge difference to those people who are experiencing real hardship.
I have seen it with my own eyes, as a Grandson, and a Son, and professionally when I was a Paediatric ICU Nurse.
I hope that a few like-minded people will come along and share some of this journey with me, because I know it will be tough, and support and encouragement make a massive difference.
Maybe together we can make just a small amount of difference to the lives of the people who really need what Macmillan can offer them!
I will be Blogging my training and writing daily reports during the event here
