My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page. This trip is going to be a fairly grueling trip - 1100 miles on a bike in very hot temperatures! I'm aware similar trips are completed regularly for charity, but what makes this slightly different is that we are doing it in a hot country in the midle of summer and we have no support vehicles; we are carrying all of our own kit on the bikes!

Please donate as generously as possible - The Disability Trust is a very worthwhile organisation supporting people with disabilities as well as their families; in particular in ways that the NHS does not. In this current economic climate it is even harder for charities such as The Disabilities Trust to secure the necessary financial support that is vital for their continued efforts.

If you would like to find out more about the charity please visit their website at:

Thank you for donating. I will be regularly updating my blog with reports of how we are getting along, and any interesting events that occur on our travels; I would love it if you can follow me, as well as my fellow riders, on our trip down through Italy.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Disabilities Trust 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.

So please sponsor me now!
