Story

<p>Well a bit about me... I haven't been on a bike for about 10 years, i am 24 years old and i spend most of my time running a local business, Elm Park Florists and volunteering for Elm Park Regeneration Partnership.</p> <p>I am a fun, hard working person, who normally would rather be in the pub like most young people, at work or getting in a takeaway and a dvd rather than exercising. This is the first challenge for me - to stay out of the pub and get on a bike.</p> <p>I bought my first bike about 2 days ago from Ebay (hoping it's not going to let me down) and this is what i shall be using on the London to Brighton bike ride. I have never taken part in an event like this so i have no idea what to expect or how much it will hurt! No matter what happens or how i get there... i WILL make it to the finish line! (even if my mate has to tow me on his bike)</p> <p>The British Heart Foundation is a very worthy cause, and a charity close to my famiilies heart as my grandad died with a heart problem, I hope any money I can raise will go towards helping somebody else.</p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now. xx</p>
