In 55 days, I’ll be 55 years old (‘Wow 55? Surely not - she looks so much younger’ I hear you say). And so I have set my own challenge. I shall cycle 55 miles in 55 days before my 55th birthday. And on the last day, I shall cycle 55 MILES IN ONE DAY! Yes I know! I can hardly believe I’ve said it myself. Let’s hope my exercise bike can take the shock! 

Since the first lockdown began I have barely left the sofa. And yet while I have been working from home,  watching Netflix and eating doughnuts, the marvellous team at Square Pegs Arts has continued to work with our amazing young people in creative and exciting ways. Undaunted by lockdown restrictions and the vagaries of technology, Square Pegs Arts members have continued to meet and produced some fantastic work. So I’m raising funds for this brilliant charity. And I know just how brilliant it is because I’m lucky enough to be a trustee.
