***UPDATE*** I completed it! Arrived in a respectable enough time of about 8hrs including rest stops (ahead of the main group!). Massive thanks to everyone that has donated, supported and had faith in me since training began earlier this year - couldn't have done it without you guys! ***

For anyone that didn't already know, I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis around Spring 2011. Although it was tough in the beginning, I've worked really hard to get my health and fitness back by training and taking the right medication.

I'm fortunate to still be healthy enough to enter the 2012 Maracycle - 110miles in one day from Belfast to Dublin, and I'm hoping you'll donate and sponsor me to help those people with my condition that haven't been so lucky.

Donating through JustGiving is quick, easy & totally secure. Your details will never be sold on and you won't receive junk mail. They send all your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on each dontation.

I understand that times are hard financially right now, but a donation of whatever you can afford, and to know that I have your support would mean the world.
