Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This is quite emotional to write, as I lost my Dad at the end of February this year, just 2 days before his 65th Birthday. He had retired last year and was diagnosed with prostate cancer the month after.

So following his passing I was determined to take the fight to prostate cancer and, with thanks to the generous sponsorship (£1350) of MMG Archbold, Chartered Accountants, will be joining a pelaton of positivity as we fight back for our friends and loved ones, with an epic cycling journey. Leaving from Lee Valley Park Velo-Drome in London, out to Harwich (80 miles), then overnight ferry to Hook of Holland before a final 77 mile stretch up to Amsterdam.

Those of you who know me will know that I enjoy running first and am a fair weather cyclist second, so this is an exciting challenge for me. I am really looking forward to meeting 400 other keen cyclists, ex-footballers and determined family members looking to put prostate cancer back in its place. This is my first cycling challenge, and this one is for my Dad.

I thank you from the bottom of my heart MMG Archbold for your sponsorship - and to all of you, my friends and family who visit here and donate to try to help prevent this horrible disease, respect. Together we can stop it from taking others, and leaving this massive hole which fills my body at present.

Thank you all so much for your donations, take care.
