Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

From a personal point of view there are so many reasons for me to do this; lose weight, fitness, the Marshall team effort, the camaraderie of a bike ride with 1000's of others across London and to get in better shape (I hope) for the wedding photographs in November!

But in the main, like so many of us, we have all had help along the way and this is a great opportunity to share our healthy good fortune and contribute to those less fortunate.  Bliss is a charity helping to give a future to children who didn't get the best of start in life and as our children are our future a very worthy cause.

My own challenge in participating in what is a monumental cycle ride for me is I am both the jockey and the horse in this race and the horse is very worried about the weight of the jockey!  Despite my training and dietary efforts I am still stubbornly stuck at 95Kgs! 

So dear friends your very kind contributions will be greatly received and help motivate me to the finish line so please dig deep I suspect every £ and Kg will be forever etched into my memory and also saddle sores, many thanks in anticipation.

All the very best Tom
