My story

 

I will be taking part in 'Sleepless in the Saddle' 2008 in memory of Paul Bebe.  He was one of my best mates and mountain biking partner, who died from cancer aged 40 on 4th April 2008.  

On the weekend of 9th/10th August I will be taking part in this grueling 24hr mountain bike event in the 'solo' category.  That will mean me riding as far as possible between 12pm on Saturday to 12pm on Sunday around an off-road course in Catton Park, Staffs.  Sleep is not an option but I will be able to rest every now and again.  Well that's the plan but I've never done anything like this before so we'll see how it goes.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. It would be fantastic if you could sponsor me.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hospice of the Good Shepherd will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
