My story

We did it, 505 miles !!!!!!!!!!! A BIG BIG thank you to everyone who supported us. X

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am a casual, fair weather cyclist, who doesn't like hills or the wind (despite my husband telling me "It's your friend") but do like cafe stops - especially Chipping and Scorton ! I have volunteered to join Rock FM on the ‘Tower 2 Tower Cycle Challenge’ to raise money for ‘Cash 4 Kids’. Cycling 450 miles on my trusty RIBBLE Cycles EM2 road bike, leaving Paris on Sunday 23^rd August and cycling to Blackpool, hopefully arriving on Friday 28^th August. My aim is to raise £1500 to help improve the quality of life for disabled and disadvantaged children and young people throughout the North West.

Please donate what you can to help me reach my target and make all the pain worth while.

Thank you for all your support, every little helps. Jean ' Must Be MAD' Bennett
