This year myself, and four others, will take on the 'Three Tours Challenge'. This epic feat will see each of us cycle the three Grand Tours; The Giro d’Italia, Le Tour de France and La Vuelta a España.  

This challenge is a monumental one. We will cycle a total of 10,504km, all in only 63 days of cycling just one day ahead of the likes of Chris Froome in the main professional events. That distance equates to travelling from Birmingham to Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. That's not to mention the 5,000km in training rides to be ready for such a challenge. 

Only 39 professional cyclists have completed this challenge. No amateur team has done it before. Having only been cycling for two years this represents a monumental challenge for me, but I am passionate and driven to test myself to the limit for a great cause, and this challenge will certainly take me to my limits, and beyond.

Why am I, and the rest of the team doing this crazy challenge? Because  we are trying to raise £1m to help blood cancer charity Cure Leukaemia fully fund the expansion of the internationally renowned Centre for Clinical Haematology. Not only will the expanded Centre immediately save more lives but it will also hasten global progress towards eradicating all forms of blood cancer within 25 years, a goal that we all want to reach even sooner.

We start on May 4th in Italy, any donations would be greatly appreciated.
