My personal message:

As most of you will know, Dad passed away on 28th November last year aged 65. Throughout his career he never struck me as a stressed person, infact the opposite. But you can never tell, and I guess the job, blood pressure, caring for Mum and losing her in July were all too much and he suffered a massive stroke and didn't wake up. So, the reason for me cycling from London to Paris (with padded pants of course) is twofold:

First, I want to direct as many people as possible to the web site for the stroke association. http://www.stroke.org.uk/.  Strokes are the nation's third largest killer so please spare a moment to take a look. There is some great advice on lifestyle changes that can make a difference, and there is advice on what to do if you encounter someone having a stroke. Please indulge me - take a look.

Second I want to raise money!! So, if I am going to haul my sorry arse all the way to Paris on a bike the least you can do is put your hand in your pocket and help raise some money for the Stroke Association and their good works.

I realise that I may have promoted this page to some who may not know me well enough to sponsor me - don't worry, you were intended to read the first point above and no more. However don't feel shy if you can spare a little cash!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: The Stroke Association will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Carpe Diem
