Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I've only been cycling on a regular basis for this past few years. In these times of restrictions I decided to do something positive to mark the occasion of my 75th birthday. I approached a few friends to see if they would join me in attempting to ride 75 miles in a day and do it to raise some money for MAF. Most of us are retirement age! They agreed so I approached MAF with my idea. It was only then that I discovered that this this activity matched exactly with MAF's fund raising theme for the year - people doing events involving the numbers 7and 5 to mark the 75th anniversary of the establishment of MAF by second world war pilots who wanted to turn aviation into a force for good. So that news confirmed me in my decision that this was the right thing to do.

There are 15 of us who are going to attempt all or part of the 75 miles and each of will attempt to involve family and friends in supporting and sponsoring us.

MAF do great work and I've been a supporter for many years - about 50! One of my sons is also deeply involved  - currently serving as a pilot in Timor Leste.
