Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. 

Many of you were kind enough to donate towards my cycling adventure from London – Hong last year, for which I am extremely grateful. I was really touched by the amount of people this journey reached out to and the personal stories people had about breast cancer. Thanks to everyone’s astonishing generosity we managed to raise a staggering £20,160.63 for Breast Cancer Care, and the money is still coming in from the various talks I’m still giving.

I got immense enjoyment from cycling nearly every day for 180 days and my cycling fitness & passion has benefited tenfold because of it. Therefore it will come as no surprise that my next challenge will also centre around cycling. I thought it might be time to test my cycling capabilities against like minded people in a full on race; the London2Paris24 race. This will be a physical as well as a mental test. The physical test comes in the form of cycling further in 1 stint than I have ever done before (280 miles / 450km) and the mental test is staying awake for 24 hours whilst keeping up a gruelling pace to reach the finish line in Paris. I'm quietly confident I will reach the finish line, but my personal goal would be to come in the top 20 (out of 300), testing my body & mind to its limit. The plan will be to give hourly progress reports as well as updates on my physical & mental health (deterioration) for you guys to follow.

As a group of 300 cyclists, we are aiming to raise well in excess of £350,000 for Scope by raising at least £1,200 each. I am thrilled to be part of such a positive adventure for Scope and with such a great group of guys & girls. To help me reach my £1,200 target, please donate as little or as much as you can.Thank you so much!
