The company I work for has committed to raise £130K for Great Ormond Street Hospital for children, and so in a moment of sheer insanity I have signed up to take part in a sponsored night cycle right round London!

Nightrider is an overnight 100km/62-mile cycle (yes 62 MILES!) and I will be cycling with a team of colleagues (but unfortunately not a motorised bike).

I'm sure you get lots of sponsorship requests, so I'll keep it short and sweet:

5 Fab Reasons To Dig Deep and Sponsor Me!

1) Take a look at the pic of me. Now try and imagine me on a bike. Cycling all the way round London.

2) I have only just mastered the art of cycling on the road...

3) I currently get puffed on the 4-mile cycle to the next village...

4) Just look at the route I'm going to be taking! (in the gallery further down)...

5) I'm going to have to sport padded cycling shorts...

Your sponsorship will really spur me on throughout the months ofbad-ass training I'm about to undertake and the mammoth cycle in June, not to mention make a huge difference to the children that are cared for by this amazing hospital.

Lots of love and thanks for your support Naomi xxx :D
