Dear Friends & Family,

I hope this message finds you well? Just to let you know I will shortly be participating in the Vietnam to Cambodia Cycling Challenge (November 11th to November 21st, 2017). My goal is to complete the 382 km cycle from Ho Chi Minh to Hanoi in just 6 days!! (Eeeeeek!!) I am very much looking forward to this exciting challenge and I'm hoping to raise £500 for Rachel Madocks School along the way.

Rachel Madocks School is a place that's very dear to my heart and helps look after children aged between 2 – 19, all of whom have severe and profound multiple learning difficulties, autism or complex medical needs. For 10 years their dedicated team of teachers helped look after my son Joseph, who suffered from a life limiting illness.

Rachel Madocks gave Joseph the opportunity to participate in things like: cooking, swimming, music, nativity plays and many other sensory activities which he responded to with a big smile.

I have so many wonderful memories of Joseph's time at Rachel Madocks and completing this challenge is my way of saying thank you to all the wonderful staff for their love and support during Joseph's short yet fun filled life.

All money raised on this donation page will be going directly to the school to fund the amazing work that they do.

Thank you to everyone in advance for your kind generosity!

Lots of love
