Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

I'm not sure quite how I got into this - must have been a crazy decision in the pub one night !

The bike was puchased in August last year - and after breaking my arm playing football 3 days later - it has spent the last 7 months in the shed. However now the weather is OK the training has started for the 300+ miles over four days of the trip.

21st May Training Update - Total miles covered 265 - seems I have the hang of this staying upright now - no more falls reported !!!

3rd June Training Update - 405 miles covered - Foot cramps and numb toes setting in (Oh dear - may have to upgrade my kit !)

24th June - 665 miles - 1 training session left - 1 more fall - 1 pair of gloves destroyed

Many of you know Little Havens Hopsice which brings so much joy to children and their families - I spent some time there last summer helping out with the Gardening and would love to help raise more funds to go to this great cause.


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Little Havens Children's Hospice will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
