Story

..........................................................................................................................................................................................................

I'm cycling from Calais to Athens, the home of modern Olympics, a journey of approximately 5000 miles. This is part of a larger 10000 mile expedition being undertaken by my friend Dave (the one on the left), who will be accompanied by another mate for the second half of the trip. I will travel through 14 different countries in total including: France, Spain, Italy, Croatia, Montenegro and Greece

I'm raising raise money for ParalympicsGB, which provides training, management and support for disabled athletes.  Great Britain's enormous Paralympic success in Beijing has given Paralympic sport a much needed boost.  However, ParalympicsGB the organisation vital for ensuring our teams continued success in London 2012, is under severe budget and spending pressures. I feel, and I hope you’ll agree, that as the hosts of the next Olympic and Paralympic Games we should field the strongest and best prepared teams possible. 

I'm extremely grateful for your support in achieving my target, it will not be forgotten! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn more about the trip and again for your support!!
