My story

 

Update:  We did it!  1000 miles in 10 days was an epic ride (for me anyway).  We were blessed with good weather and all got to JOG in good shape.  There are some amazing parts of this island that are well worth visiting by bike and i will be going back to them as soon as I am able.

thanks to our support team who drove, set up camp and made carbo loaded meals and snacks for us for the entire way.  We could not have done it without you.

thanks also for the generous donations - i am sure they will make a difference to leukaemia research.

For those visiting here for the first time:

I have chosen the Geoff Thomas Foundation as it targets areas where progress in the fight against leukaemia is likely.  It also has a formidable cycling connection.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Geoff Thomas Foundation 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.

So please sponsor me now!
