Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for Cancer Research UK. This summer I was one of only 30 cyclists riding all three of the Haute Routes ('the highest, toughest amateur rides in the world'), back to back; the Pyrenees; the French Alps; the Swiss Alps and Dolomites. I started on the Atlantic coast of France on 20th August and finished in Venice on 11th September. Each ride lasted seven days, covering around 800 kilometres and involving about 20,000 metres of climbing. After 21 days I had climbed the equivalent of 6.6 ascents of Everest! Any donation you might be able to make in recognition of my efforts (or madness!) and a very good cause will be gratefully received.

None of the money you donate contributes to my ride costs. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
