On May 11^th 2009 I  (Gary) collapsed with a brain haemorrhage.

It came totally out of the blue…I was a happy, fit, healthy tri-athlete who lived life to the full. That day has changed my life forever.

 

Without the expert care and attention of paramedics, consultants, doctors, nurses of , I would have died. I had months of recovery and recuperation and as I look back over the last year I realise how lucky we are to have life and what a relatively small deal it is to give something back to the world – no matter how small. So, whilst in I decided I was going to cycle the length of the country – at that point I couldn’t walk but I was determined to get back on my feet and get fit.

 

Well, I’m back on my feet and along with 2 of my good friends, David and Matt, we are going to cycle 1,008 miles from John O’Grotes to Lands End on June 12^th…..9 days of hell!

Thanks for reading this and for any change you can offer us – no matter how small.
