Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On May 3rd 2007, my family and I were holidaying with our friends Kate and Gerry McCann in Portugal when the unimaginable happened; their daughter, Madeleine, was abducted. The intolerable pain and devastation that ensued for my dear friends will stay with me forever - it is the most brutal relentless agony I have ever witnessed, and it doesn't stop, ever. The ripples are far reaching also, for the family, and friends who desperately try to support and help whilst also dealing with their own feelings of loss and distress.

Missing People charity have been a lifeline. They have provided vital on-going support as the days have turned into years not only to  family but friends also. You will have heard of Madeleine McCann and perhaps other missing people, but there are many more that you won't have. For their families, life without their loved one can be an unbearable struggle. Missing People are there for them 24 hours a day, every day of the year. By taking part in this cycle challenge I hope to raise valuable funds to support this charity who have supported my friends and I. Your donation is very much appreciated. Thank you.
