My story

 
Thanks for visiting my fund raising page.  On 23rd May 2009, I am going to attempt The Iron Horse Bicycle Classic in Durango, Colorado.  It will I believe be the most difficult physical challenge of my life and the event for which I have been the most comprehensively prepared.  This challenge will dwarf the London Marathon.

The Iron Horse Classic is a 50-mile bicycle race against a steam train.  To beat the train, starting at 7,000', I need to cover the distance, climbing 5,700' through two mountain passes, in 3hrs 30.  I have been training 4x a week since November, but I will still have to have the ride of my life to beat the train.

This is another event to raise money for St Clare's Hospice, where my sister-in-law Shirley died.  The staff there does not do fancy things like I do - when the last two weeks of cancer patients' lives are upon them, they accompany them, and their families, on the painful and often degrading journey to their death.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: St. Clare's Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now
