My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. I can confirm that I am now home safely and managed to complete it in 98hrs. We were lucky with the weather although clear blue skies and 30+ degree temperatures made climbing the mountains hot work!

Thank you all for your support. Hx

I think I had a mad moment when I decided to do this ride; especially after reading the bit "this is one of those 'do before you die' events" but hey ho, how hard can it be!! So 718 km in 100hrs (4 and a bit days!) across the Pyrenees, 18 major mountain climbs, including such Tour legends as the Peyresourde (1569m), Aubisque (1709m) and Tourmalet, which stands at a whopping 2115m above sea level!! I saw it as a great way to get fit and have a challenge (just a bit!) and hopefully raise some money for a very good cause.

I intend to cover the majority of costs of doing the event myself so that your donations actually go to Fairbridge.

If you know of anyone else who would support me then please forward this link onto them

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Fairbridge gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Cheers for your help.
