2017 marks the 10th anniversary of the birth of our beautiful daughter, Lily.

Lily was only with us for seven weeks but, of course, she changed our lives forever.

Whilst I never expected it at the time, a positive to come for the experience was a rekindling of my childhood love for cycling. It gave me a focus, a chance to clear my head and process my thoughts.

With your support we were also able to raise over £15,000 for medical research and neonatal care charities, through cycling challenges.

With Lily's 10th anniversary this year, I want to ask for your support again, to raise money for another amazing cause and enable other young children to benefit from Lily's legacy.

I am fundraising for the Vodafone Foundation who aim to use mobile communication technology, to enable social change and improve lives in communities across the globe. I am genuinely inspired by their projects, in particular the current 'Instant Classroom' project is well worth 5 minutes of your Googling time.

If you can help, please donate here on my Just Giving page, or by TEXT - send "DJLJ99", then an amount of £1, £2, £3, £4, £5 or £10 to 70070.

Lastly, if any of you feel your company would benefit from having their brand taken the length of the country upon my sweaty back, I'm open to offers!!

Thank you so much for your time and your support.

Dan
