As some of you will know I had a heart scare on holiday in France recently, and ended up being flown to intensive care in Grenoble hospital.  I'm lucky, because my heart has turned out to be fit and strong, but there are thousands of people who aren't so lucky and its good to know that charities like The British Heart Foundation are searching for treatments to literally save our lives.

On the 4th May I am cycling from my home in Nailsworth (Gloucestershire) to Paris, with my friend Clint Randall, and will be raising money on the way for The British Heart Foundation.  The 380 miles will take 4 days and my heart will (hopefully!) beat over 300,000 times whilst I'm in the saddle.

This is an independent ride and I am paying for all costs - therefore every pound you donate will go directly to The British Heart Foundation.  All donations are secure and electronic and if you are a UK taxpayer, Justgiving will automatically reclaim 28% Gift Aid on your behalf, so your donation is worth even more.

Please join me in supporting The British Heart Foundation and a fabulous cause.

Many thanks for your support.
