Firstly, thank you very much for taking the time to read my Just Giving page.

I am going to cycle from Valley Parade, Bradford to San Remo, Italy.  Roughly 1200 miles.  This will be done in aid of the Bradford Burns Unit who need to raise £100,000 to ensure they can continue doing the amazing work they do.

I'm guessing that by reading this page you must have some desire, however slight, to donate.  In an attempt to make this an ever so slightly interactive donation, I am writing a Blog about my preparation and progress. This will allow you to check I am not slacking and watch me suffer as the training and trip it's self unfolds. Please have a look and if you find it interesting, add it to your favourites (just think of those boring moments at work when you have refreshed the BBC website more times you care to remember and need something to read).

Any donation you can make will really be appreciated however small.  Even if it is just a pound, please add it on as it all adds up! One pound and you have helped input in to my inevitable suffering, that has got to be worth it!

For more info have a look at my Blog for my trip or the Telegraph and Argus website for more information on the appeal.

Thank you.

Ben

P.s. The donate button is just below and to the right... (wink)
