Meg, the daughter of my colleague Richard was recently diagnosed with Friedrich's Ataxia.

Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive inherited disease that causes progressive damage to the nervous system. People diagnosed with Ataxia will progressively over time have difficulty walking, talking and partaking in many activities many of us take for granted.

Within the next year Meg will be reliant on a specialised wheelchair to provide her with mobility. We are riding from London to Paris to get her that wheelchair and to raise awareness for Ataxia UK.

This will be a massive personal challenge for me as I have just 3 weeks to fundraise and train for the ride!

I know I have some wonderful, beautiful, compassionate friends out there, so...

Please please please donate whatever you can for this brilliant and important cause - if only to see me in Lycra shorts!
