Story

Hey thank you for taking time to visit my JustGiving page :-)


I'm taking part so that I can help to raise funds for Help the Heroes and Kent Sports Trust and to raise awareness of what a great, inclusive sport cycling is.  Not many people are aware of my personal journey to arrive at being just a girl who loves to cycle and simply I wanted to challenge myself with a few great cycle rides in 2017.

The photo of me in the cream jacket & skirt was taken just over 13 years ago.  Since then I've been on a roller coaster journey of trying, sometimes successfully, other times failing, to loose weight and get fit.  In May 2016 I discovered cycling via a fab club called Grain Peninsula Cycling club, and I haven't looked back, I'm fitter, more toned and healthier than I've ever been.  The photo of me in the black dress was taken on 18th Nov 2016, and represents, for me, a milestone I never thought possible to achieve, one of happiness, healthiness and quite frankly sheer determination.


So to honour what I've achieved so far, I'm sure there is more to come, I wanted to give something back via cycling.  Please donate whatever you can possibly spare for the two great charities I've mentioned above, every penny helps.  Thank you X
