During a temporary lapse of sanity at the beginning of this year I signed up to race the mountain stage of the Tour de France (2 days before the pros do it I hasten to add!). 

From the city of Pau in the south of France I have to ride 180km, up 13,500 feet in the Pyrénées mountains, in under 9 hours.  I can safely say it’s by far the most challenging physical event I’ve done and as per usual I’m behind on the training!  However I’m hoping over the last 7 weeks I’ll be able to go from “zero to hero” and complete a once-in-a-life-time experience.

 

To keep me motivated for the final few weeks of early mornings & saddle sore, I would be hugely grateful of your support in raising money for DRCS (Derwent Rural Counselling Service).  This is a charity my parents are heavily involved with and does a incredible job giving professional counselling to people with personal problems such as bereavement, depression, stress and anxiety, marital and family problems.

A HUGE thank you for any donations you feel you can give.
