There is a desperate need to tackle oral disease, infection and chronic pain throughout the developing world - to enable people to work, attend school and care for families. We teach skills that mean local people are able to function free from pain, and avoid preventable infections and diseases.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I am taking part in a 5 day cycling trip. This starts on the Mediterranean coast in France and ending on the Atlantic coast in Spain in San sebastian.

We will be taking in a number of famous climbs including the Col du Tourmalet. This is a 19km climb with an average gradient of 7.5%

The total distance of over 700km with nearly 9000meters of climbing makes this a reasonable stretch of the legs. In addition if enough people support me I am going to ride a bicycle that I have built myself. By this I mean that I have cut and welded the frame together and then built the bike up from scratch. The bike is heavier than my carbon race bike but it will provide more of a challenge and a good test of my welding skills.

I am obviously paying for all expenses related to the trip so every penny of your donation will be going to the Bridge2aid charity. 

I will provide a blog of my endeavour to all who wish to follow the event.

Thanks for taking the time to read all of this.
