Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I would be delighted if you would support me on my long ride around Lake Vattern in central Sweden starting at 7pm on the 12th June.  A marathon test of cycling and stamina it is 186miles which is going to take me approximately 19 hours to complete. Night and day will pass me by, lets hope the weather is kind and I dont get over taken by the 70 year old in the Lapland head dress on a 40's cast iron bike. 

I have undertaken several months of training -  even in winter I have still managed on average a 100miles on the roads plus double doses of weekly cycling classes. Iam 50 this year so am not getting any younger, this isnt easy.

A quote from Treehouse is "Cycling 186 miles, through the day and through the night, and in varying weather conditions is challenging enough and there are not many people that would put themselves through it once, let alone six times! At TreeHouse we are thrilled to be the beneficiary of your support for another year and the valuable funds you have pledged to raise continue to make a huge difference. Without the support of people like you, TreeHouse would simply not be able to transform the thousands of lives in the affected by autism.  We exist to educate children, support parents, train professionals and influence policymakers. With your support we will be able to reach the many more families and children in need of our services.  Thank you for helping to make a difference".
