My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Foolishly (alcohol may have been involved at the time) I have agreed to cycle with a group of friends from Egremont in Cumbria to South Shields in Tyne and Wear along the Hadrian's Cycle Route. The 159 mile journey will be spread over 3 days starting on 28 May 2009. To Tour de France regulars this may not seem too strenuous but before I bought a new bike less than a month ago it was 13 years since I had last used pedal power in anger.

To provide some point to the madness we are supporting the West Yorkshire Forget Me Not Trust, a local charity raising money for a children's hospice. Any sponsorship you can provide will be really appreciated.

Please remember to select Gift Aid when you donate.
