<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.&nbsp;</p> <p>On 5 June 2012, I'm beginning a three and a half day cycle ride starting in Hackney, London, and ending up just over 200 miles away at the Eiffel Tower in Paris.&nbsp; The trip has been organised by my close friend Oli, and together with an assorted motley of friends and neighbours we make up 'Team Velo'.</p> <p>In 2007, Oli sadly lost his mother Annie to cancer, and he has done a great job of planning this challenge with his mum's memory at the front of his mind.&nbsp; I would like to do my bit to try and raise some money to support Springhill hospice as, in Oli's word's, "it transformed the time Annie had left and I would like others to benefit from the same support."</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
