My son Tristan has cerebral palsy and needs spinal surgery to help him walk. Although this is no longer available in the NHS, we have been accepted by St Louis Children's Hospital, Missouri for surgery in November. The procedure, travel and physiotherapy will cost in excess off £60,000.

To help raise awareness and funds I rode 275 miles from London's O2 to the Eiffel Tower in 24 hours.

I trained hard for 6 months but it was still incredibly challenging. The fatigue and endurance moreso than the actual pedalling. Please donate what ever you can to our cause which will change Tristan's life and could see him chasing his little brother in the garden next summer.
