My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In August 2011 I left my home in Durham with a simple aim: to pedal a bicycle round the world and raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support en route. I intend on pedalling for as long as it takes to return home, whether this takes two, three or four years I will leave to be dictated by my experiences on the road.  If this sounds interesting to you then please take a look at my website at www.therideround.com for more information.
