Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

In late April, when the weather's better and the wind has stopped
howling, I shall be undertaking a solo cycle ride from the Irish Sea
region over to the North Sea – or in simple terms, a west to east
coast of England trek. Although I am out most days of the week on my trusty Chris Boardman bike, rain or shine, this marathon venture will be representing uncharted territory for me. In fact, I haven't really worked out the best route to take just yet!

I have to say that I've never, in the past, felt any genuine inclination to attempt anything like this. However, my recent involvement with the Carerstrust has most definitely given me a real passion and desire to help out in any way that I can. I do hope that you feel you will be able to support me in this worthy venture by donating anything that you can afford.

At present I'm trying to reach - and then to maintain the best fitness levels that I possibly can (given my rapidly advancing sixty plus years) I'm racking up a hundred or so miles each week on the bike as well as cramming in extra workout sessions (and relaxing in the steam room and jacuzzi afterwards!) at my gym, DW Sports Blackpool. 

I'll keep you posted with how things are developing. I'll also hopefully be posting a daily online blog whilst I'm on my trip for a few updates.

Best wishes, Rob
