After a couple of beers with Matt from Daisy Chain and as part of a  personal challenge to get me out of the office, whilst making my descent in my half a century, I have signed up to cycle the Coast to Coast.

Daisy Chain is a  local charity, providing respite care, activities and support for children and their families affected by autism. An extremely worthwhile cause which I'm delighted and privileged to support.

We have supported Daisy Chain by attending organised charity events, donating and purchasing auction prizes, I would like to think by taking part in what will be a physical challenge I can highlight the charity to some of my friends and collegues.  

DAISY CHAIN IS COMPLETELY FUNDED BY DONATIONS AS THEY DO NOT RECEIVE ANY GOVERNMENT FUNDING.

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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
