My 50th Birthday Challenge will start on Saturday 27 May with a 5km swim in Reading Lake, take in 550km of cycling through Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire and Wiltshire, and finishing the 50km run on Wednesday 31 May in Reading town centre.  

I aim to raise £5,000 for Thrive.  This is my 5th year working for Thrive and I continued to be impressed by the great work the Therapists do with the client gardeners whose lives really are improved through gardening. Your support will mean we can provide more activities and better facilities to make time spent at Thrive an even better experience.

You can read more about what I'm doing, why and how my planning and training are going on my blog: https://k50challenge.wordpress.com
