Nick and I have decided to don our cycling gear and get involved in a fantastic event for which my employer - Countrywide, is the main sponsor. Raising money for our charity partners; Alzheimer’s Society, Macmillan Cancer Support, Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research, Anthony Nolan and Action For A-T.

In particular, one of these charities - Macmillan Cancer Support is very close to our hearts and I personally have witnessed the care and support that this charity offers not only to cancer patients themselves but to family members too.

I'm a complete novice cyclist and have only really started getting out on the roads quite recently. It's the first time I will have ever done anything like this and I have to say I'm quite nervous so I very much appreciate all the support I can get! Nick has completed a cycling challenge before albeit a long time ago but even he hasn't cycled 80 miles in 1 day before. All we know is that it's not exactly going to be a comfortable journey - padded pants are a must!

Thanks in advance for your support, any donation you can make is very much appreciated.

Wish us luck...!
