Great Ormand Street Hospital saved my daughter Catriona's life when she had severe pneumonia on her first birthday, so to raise money for them I've decided to do something utterly insane - cycle from London to Paris in 24 hours on the 10th July - a mere 265 miles! This will be the hardest thing I've ever tried to do, but I will get there and hopefully within the 24 hrs. Anything you can spare to sponsor me will not only help motivate me for those crack-of-dawn training rides, but more importantly you'll be helping to save the lives of other children like Catriona.
