My story
Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
This year was already a big one for the family, with Sarah turning 30 and Robert 60 so we wanted to mark it in a special way and how better than cycling for hours from London to Brighton when there is a perfectly good train line to take you there in a fifth of the time?!
However our challenge recently took on greater significance with Matt's recent spell in hospital and his forthcoming heart surgery. We all know the amazing work charities such as British Heart Foundation do, but its not until you experience the stress and pain of seeing a loved one suffer that you realise just how important their efforts really are.
So thats why, on Sunday 17th June, we'll be digging in especially hard - fighting the chaffing and the impossible task of Ditchling Beacon - to do Matt and others like him proud. Times are tough and even if you can only afford a few pence, it really does make a difference so please give what you can, come cheer us on from the sidelines and for gods sake have a cocktail ready for the finish line!

Wow! This morning, thanks to your kindness & incredible generosity, we smashed our target & passed the £1k mark! An extraordinary effort & one that we are truly humbled by - thank you! However what we're now thinking is.. Could we make it to £1,500?!? 1 day to go - lets do this!!
Seriously blown away by everyone's generosity - we genuinely didnt expect such a response so thank you, thank you for your support, best wishes and most importantly, your cash! The nerves are starting to kick in now but equally the excitement is building - 4 sleeps to go, eek! xx
Wow! Thank you so much to those of you who have donated already - v generous and it means a lot. We're already nearly at our target but with 2 weeks to go it would be awesome if we could get to £1k! Even just a few pounds will make a huge difference xxx
