After making the mistake of telling my manager I own a bike, I find myself committed to a bike ride. This, however, is no ordinary bike ride; it's an up-at-6am, 75 mile bike ride the morning after my birthday, for one of the most incredible charities that is close to so many hearts.

I will be cycling on Friday 24th May (just over a month to go!) and Barclays will match whatever I raise, so any and every donation counts.

Whether this charity is personal to you, or whether you'd find the thought of me waddling like John Wayne during the week that follows incredibly hilarious, then please sponsor me!
