Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
My inspiration for my journey was the loss of my friend and neighbour Sally, whose life was tragically cut short by ovarian cancer. Sally was only a few years older than me, and I thought that if I was going to take on this challenge, I needed to get on with it. I have always had a list of things to do and this was one of my most demanding challenges.
On Sunday 7th June I completed my ride from John O'Groats to Lands End. A total distance of 1041 miles taking 88 hours of pedaling. I was greeted at the end by Micheal, Peter and Christie (and not forgetting Rocco!) which was a wonderful end to an epic journey. The support and words of encouragement from all of you have kept me going and will remain with me always. We raised a glass to Sally in Lands End as promised. She will live on in my memory just as the experience of the past 2 weeks will remain with me forever.
Thank you one and all for helping me make this such a positive experience from such a sad loss.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Ovarian cancer action 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.
Thank you for your support.
