Story

Hello Again!

Before we go any further, thank you for clicking onto this link. I know that you get pestered to give to any number of worthy causes!

Blesma is the only national Armed Forces Charity that supports limbless veterans for the duration of their lives. They help all serving and ex-Service men and women who have lost limbs or eyes, to rebuild their lives by providing rehabilitation activities and welfare support.

Blesma provides a network where Members not only enjoy support from our professional Welfare Team, but where they have the opportunity to engage with others who have similar injuries and backgrounds to themselves, building an important fellowship with each other to overcome everyday battles.

Blesma gets my vote. Yours too?

My challenge is to cycle out to Gibraltar, solo and unsupported. The distance is almost 2300 miles, which is the same as the Tour de France: unlike the pros, I will not have any rest days and I will be carrying my own luggage! I want to complete it by riding 21 consecutive centuries, which is one more than I've done previously. So that's all straightforward then, hah-hah!

So that's what it's all about. If you have a couple of minutes spare and can find absolutely nothing better to do, please have a look at my blog at https://llr2019.blogspot.com/ . Wi-Fi allowing, I'll keep it going throughout: consider yourselves warned, hah-hah!

Very best wishes,

Simon.

ps in the unlikely event that you've won The Lottery, I'm also fundraising for the Motor Neurone Disease Association https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/godaveadam and Bloodwise (fight blood cancers) at https://www.justgiving.com/fundraising/gogeoffhill
Thank you.
