My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
My Dad, Richard Newman cycled LEJoG in the 1980's which has inspired me to do the same. Dad h...ad cancer and was treated on Somersham Ward at Ipswich Hospital before he died in 1994. So I am riding from the bottom of the UK to the top to raise funds for Somersham, the ward that still treats many cancer patients.
It was last July when I decided to do LEJoG. I started training on my old mountain bike that had never seen a mountain, if it had would probably have fallen apart! I rode 5 miles a couple of times a week which was such hard work and I later discovered I had buckled wheels so no wonder!
I then bought my Scott road bike in August last year and I have to say I am now well and truly hooked. Dad bought me a road bike in my teens and tried to get me into cycling which didn't work. I think he'd be pleased to see me now, a Lycra clad cycling geek!
Training for and completing a ride like this takes commitment, not only from me but also from my family. I will be riding for over 10 hours some weeks, as well as other training and having regular massage to keep me in working order. I appreciate all the support that I have from family and friends and the words of encouragement mean so much. There has also been a lot of use of the words crazy, insane and potty!
So please, please, pretty please visit my Just Giving page and sponsor me. I am paying for all the expenses associated with the ride so all the money raised will go directly to Somersham.
