My story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page and please sponsor me!

I will be cycling from London to Paris - a scary 200miles is 3 days! (and that is not 200 lovely flat London miles - that includes the joy of the North and South downs and whatever hills France has to throw at us!)

All this just a few of months after breaking my leg!

After two months with a leg in cast doing no exercise but spending my time lying on the sofa getting addicted to american reality tv shows - this is NOT going to be easy! So please sponsor me and help me on my way.

The money donated will go straight to Independent Age a great charity providing support to older people to stay independently in their own homes. Your donation will help provide emergency grants, mobility items or help with the cost of organising social activities and volunteers to provide invaluable support in preventing loneliness and isolation to 6,000 older people across the UK and Ireland.

A great cause so don't forget to gift aid the donation!!
