London to Paris Cycle Ride · 10 September 2008 ·

We support the growing number of people in and around Milton Keynes affected by a life-limiting illness. We give our patients and their loved ones specialist, personalised care - free of charge. Only 13.8% of our costs are met by ongoing NHS funding, so we’re dependent on your support. Thank you.

Story

Hi All,I have gone totally mad  and decided to cycle from London to Paris over the course of 4 days.                                                            

 I'm doing this for lots of reason's the main and obvious one is to raise money for Willen Hospice.I chose this charity because of the wonderful things they do for families during and after life limiting illness's.Please go to their website to find out more.Please please sponsor me and support Willen Hospice.Even the smallest of donations will add up and its a really easy way to do it on here.Thank you.Tara xx

UPDATE 24/04/08

Just for your info the cycle ride takes 4 days and covers 300 miles.                                

So far training going ok but have got to step up the cycling which should be easier now the nights are lighter. Had a nice 10+ mile ride on sunday and found it easy.When I started a mile was hard. Davina and Tae-bo workout DVD's on nearly everyday if not every other day.My target for this weekend is 20 miles!!Would love to hear from others doing same cycle event contact me on tarakingheaven@hotmail.com

UPDATE 15/07/08

Training going really well now cycling 15/20 miles 3 x week and on sunday's cycling a long one of about 50 miles..yes seriously.

Its hard work and quite boring doing that amount of miles i can tell you..so spare a thought and dig deep!!

UPDATE 26/08/08

Well its my last week of training i need to cover 170 miles this week, my sunday ride is supposed to be between 70/80 miles !! By sunday i will have done well over 1000miles in training!! feeling quite anxious bout it all now, will i be able to do it?, will i get lost? how much is it gonna hurt? Oh well i will soon find out!!!
