My story
I always wanted to do something really special for a charity.
As I learnt and heard about the young men coming back from Afghanistan and going to the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham for treatment I knew that was the charity I wanted to support.
Mum and I had read many articles and watched a lot of programs on TV, including the news, about our young soldiers fighting and getting seriously injured.
All of these articles and programs made Mum and I want to help more.
We wanted to do something challenging so that it would be worthwhile, I had the choice of running or cycling.
We first started training for running but I came up with the idea of cycling all the way from home to the hospital in Birmingham, as on the West Midlands cycle route this is over 100 miles. Training was and still is hard.
We started last September and whatever the weather we go out, as my training program has to be on the two days in the week that I can have out of school. So if it’s raining, snowing, sleet or like two weeks ago, hailstones, we cycle!
Mum and I have had loads of fun battling though training and it makes it a lot easier to know that it is all for a good cause.
On the weekend of 21st and 22nd April we're cycling 105 miles from Oxford to Birmingham on the West Midlands cycle route.
Please help our young soldiers who deserve your support by sponsoring me though the JustGiving website.
Thank you very much, Talitha Howden

We made it!! We arrived at the QEHB at 4pm on Sunday after cycling 105 miles over 2 days which took us 18 hours. Mum & I got lost twice & Mum got a puncture on Saturday afternoon in the middle of a farm.
Talitha & I are being interviewed on Radio Oxford this evening at 5.50pm. Fiona
A big thank you to my little sister, Jemima 7 years old, who has raised £74.10 selling our chicken and goose eggs at the end of our drive. Talitha xxx
