Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I'm about to do the Manchester to Blackpool cycle ride, which covers approximately 60 miles. I've got exactly two months to try and get my legs back in action and acclimatise my derriere to the saddle once again. I have done this ride before - about half my life ago when I was considerably fitter. I was also (quite) a few pounds lighter and, as you'll notice, had a full head of hair! In the interest of good taste I wont be wearing lycra this time round.
The ride is in aid of Christie's Hospital and I'm trying to raise some extra money for the important work they do.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Christie's gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Any amount you can give will be very much appreciated. So please sponsor me now!
