On 29th July 2018 I am taking on the challenge of riding 100 miles around the Surrey hills in memory of two great men and to raise money for two great causes.

My 'Birds, Bees and Babies Bike Ride' will raise money for Bliss, the charity which supports the most vulnerable babies in the UK; and for the Hampshire Wildlife Trust, which seeks to maintain wildlife and biodiversity in the beautiful county of Hampshire where I grew up.

Charlie Curthoys, father to Naomi and Dan (born at 32 weeks) knew what it was like to go through the rollercoaster of emotions when your baby is in neonatal care and nothing is easy. Bliss is there for those families at one of the toughest times of their lives.

My Dad, Richard Hedley, taught me to cherish the outdoors and the surroundings we live in, for future generations to come.

Please help me raise £400 for each of this very worthy charities and inspire me to keep my legs turning every inch of those 100 miles in July this year.
