Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Having twice taken part in the Lake District’s Coniston Challenge, a running, cycling and canoeing event in support of the Guide Dogs for the Blind Association, this year I decided on upping my mileage for a new challenge!   On Saturday 7th May I cycled 100 miles from Cardiff to Tenby to raise funds for the Velindre Cancer Centre in Cardiff, the city where my daughter Esther is training to become a doctor. Basic training included cycling to  the vet surgery in Southam from my Leamington home and joining the Leamington Cycling & Athletics Club in an effort to build up my stamina for the Carten 100 event.        I’ve really got into cycling recently and when I heard about the Carten 100 Challenge I thought it was a good opportunity to combine visiting my daughter with a challenging ride along the South Wales coastline. The event supports the largest non-surgical hospital in Wales where Esther will be working as part of her training, which gave me the extra incentive to fundraise for them.
