This is a great cause and one that has already been supported well by everyone at the Lifetime Group where I work. Anyone who attended last years annual conference in La Manga will tell you just how unfit I was at the back end of last year. So In January I bought myself a road bike and started clocking up the miles (1st outing was 5 miles and I almost didn't make it back). Stopping smoking after 20 years took a little longer and I haven't had a cigarette since 5th April which makes me especially pleased to be supporting a hard working cancer charity.

170 miles in two days is not going to be easy and it is for a fantastic cause so please put your hands in your pockets. If we can reach the target I may even upload pictures of me looking ridiculous in lycra.
