Thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

This summer, my target was to cycle with Cure Leukaemia on the London 2 Paris: Inspiring the Revolution 2020 cycle ride in June. Understandably, due to coronavirus, this event was postponed until late September – and then again to June 2021.

However, I still did the London to Paris distance on the original dates (June 4-7) from my Cheltenham home with my cycling mate Tim Marshall – observing social distancing of course. And now we will be doing it again on the revised September dates, starting and finishing in Cheltenham, but venturing further afield, with an overnight stay in Shrewsbury.

So, we will be doing the L2P distance three times – from Cheltenham in June and September, and then the real thing in June 2021!

Each ride is 500km (310 miles) over four days, cycling around 80 miles a day and turning the pedals approximately 450,000 times. Both rides will be a challenge, so anything you can do to help me by either sponsoring me directly, or by asking others to sponsor me, would be greatly appreciated.

Further details of the charity and the L2P event can be found at www.l2prevolution.com

Every penny I raise will go towards funding specialist research nurses at 12 blood cancer centres across the UK who connect patients with the latest treatments through clinical trials. Not only do these trials save lives they also help hasten global progress towards eradicating all forms of this disease. Cure Leukaemia has already made a significant impact and the funds raised will help this to continue.

The chances are we all know someone who has suffered from cancer – this is for them.

Thank you so much in advance.
