Raising funds for Marie Curie

16th September 2001 and my life was torn apart. My dad passed away after a very short and brave battle with cancer. He was 54 years old.

His death literally tore my immediate family apart. As a very young and, looking back now, immature 23 year old, neither i, nor my family, had the skills in coping with his death.
Unfortunately we were not aware at the time of the resources available to us to help us cope and grieve his death.
I have since come to learn of the information and support Marie Curie can offer families at such times, which is why i have decided to embark on this challenge to raise funds for this charity in memory of my Dad.
As a keen, and once competitive cyclist, riding 5-6 days a week is nothing new to me. However, the distance of a minimum 54 miles a day for 54 consecutive days will push me to my limit.
I will have to fit this challenge into my everyday life; family and work.
