Ever since I was little I have always wanted to help other people to make them happy. Last year I climbed the height of Mount Everest on an indoor climbing wall to raise money for Brain Tumour Research. I loved the challenge because it pushed me  and now I want to push myself even further! 

Taking on this 1000 mile cycling challenge is really putting me out of my comfort zone because I don't do a lot of cycling, unlike my Everest challenge where I have been doing climbing since I was seven. 

I really want to carry on raising money for Brain Tumour Research because it is a really important charity.

Thanks a lot!
