In January 2010 I am joining a group of 60 cyclists cycling across Egypt.  We cycle over 150 kilometres over 3 days from Aswan and Philae and North up The Nile and across The Valley of Kings and onto Luxor.

I started my training in July as I turned 50, but a couple of weeks ago had a small set back.  A re-accuring knee injury had got too painful and a trip to the consultant resulted in an operation.  The operation was just a temporary fix as it is more than likely that I will need a new knee next year.

I plan get back on track with my training starting next week.

I appreciate that many of you have been very generous sponsoring Amanda over the past 3 years as she ran the London Marathon.  I do recall many of you saying you would pay more to see me do something similar.  Although running is certainly out of the question, I can cycle.  I might even lose a bit of weight on the way.

I will be splitting the money I raise between 3 charities : ChildLine, Nordoff Robbins and Macmillan Cancer Support.  All of these charities are extremely worthy causes and I really hope I can make a difference. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
