WELCOME TO MY FUNDRAISING PAGE Recently, I began the most physically challenging journey of my life: cycling 4200 miles across the USA from Seattle to Boston. Whilst I'm enjoying witnessing the beauty and splendour of America, meeting many different people and embracing the physical challenge, I'm hoping my journey will raise money for Cancer Research UKin memory of my close friend Gavin, who sadly lost his life after a 5-year painstaking battle against the disease. Gavin was especially adventurous and had many ambitions, one of which was to travel through America, so I am privileged to have the opportunity to fulfil one of his dreams, and I feel inspired to help those who suffer as he did. So please, please help me to help others by sponsoring me to complete my unimaginable 2-wheel expedition!
