I DID IT!!!!!!! Read my report HERE.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. I don't ask for sponsorship very often, mainly because I feel it's cheeky to ask for money to do something your going to do anyway!  So when a challenge came along that I really wasn't sure about it seemed like a perfect opportunity.

I am sure most people know about the London to Brighton Bike Ride (if not then I'm sure you can work it out) well last year a handful of very fit people did it on skates [1] and this year I aim to do it too!  According to the official London to Brighton Bike Ride site [2] it's 54 miles so just over two marathons ... VERY hilly marathons as you have to cover the north and south downs!

Apologies to the BHF that organise the London to Brighton Bike Ride but I have chosen to support the Rocky Appeal run by Portsmouth Hospitals NHS Trust.  In September 2000 my grandfather died of cancer.  There are a number of cancer charities however he was looked after wonderfully by St Mary's Hospital in Portsmouth who are currently attempting to raise £2 million for a cancer laboratory.

I have not signed up for the official event, this is for four reasons.  Firstly, the event is very geared to bikes, I feel there may be issues trying to cross the start line on skates.  Secondly, the entrance fee is £28 which I have chosen to donate directly to the charity.  Thirdly, it means I can set off early and beat the rush.  Lastly, if it rains I will not be skating, the hills would just be too dangerous!  I will however set myself another challenge to make up for it.

I don't know how practical it is but I would welcome company on the day, either on skates or on bikes.  I don't know how easy it will be to stay together but we can catch up on the stops :-)

Donating through this site is simple, fast, secure and if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.  If you can't or don't want to donate money here or wish to donate once I have completed it then please feel free to contact me through Camberley Skaters.

Thank you so much for your support.
