I am raising money for Premature baby care in the Neo-natal Unit at Russells Hall Hospital in Dudley.
In August 2007, my niece Kiera arrived in the world 14 weeks early, weighing only 1lb 13oz (822grammes). The first thing she had to do was to fight for her life. Her mother, my sister, was also in a fight for her own life. The care that the Doctors and Nurses at the Neo-natal Unit provided was essential to help them win these battles. I can never thank them enough - raising some money to help them in their work is my small way of saying thank you.
I went to Kiera's 4th Birthday party at the weekend - she is a happy, healthy little girl. She loves dancing and dressing up like a little princess. She starts school in September, a milestone that seemed a long way off 4 years ago. Have a look at the pictures to see how far she has come.
I would like you to sponsor me as I endeavour to cycle Coast to Coast along the Reivers Route. This is 170 miles over three days, starting near Newcastle and finishing in Whitehaven, Cumbria. To make it harder, we are going via Scotland. Why not!
This will not be easy, I had two knee operations last year, and could barely cycle 5 miles in January 2011. If you only want to sponsor me to enjoy my suffering, please do so!
I start the ride on Thursday 1st September and aim to finish on Saturday 3rd September. Feel free to donate a very comfortable cushion!
