Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

My aim was to cycle the 353 miles from London to Land's end to raise money for the British Heart Foundation. My dad passed away from a heart attack at 59 in November 2014, although he had always suffered from high blood pressure we didn't appreciate how serious his condition was until it was too late. I miss him everyday and know he'd be cheering me on with his infectious smile wherever he is.

The days were challenging but after a small tumble, wardrobe malfunction, sore knees and jumping over a few cornish hedges to avoid a fallen power line I made it to the finish at lands end in three and a half days! I know my dad would be so proud of me especially coming in first on three of the four days (not that it was a race of course!). 

Thank you so much for all your support, especially to my Mum and Sister for all your encouragement and to Sandie, Stuart and Lawrence for your cycle power on the last two days. 

Its not too late to donate - please help support this great cause, every penny helps!
