On July the 8th I will be tackling the Etape du Tour, this is a stage of the Tour de France, it is over 100 miles long with over 4000 metres of climbing. This will be a massive challenge and although I have been training hard the thought of 8 mile long climbs up the alps is filling me with dread. I am hoping to use this challenge to raise some money for the Thorner School PTA who are trying to renew and refresh the schools resources including books, art materials and audio visual equipment. As schools budgets have become stretched the school needs help to keep resources up to date to ensure the best opportunity for the pupils to learn
