400km's jn January · 4 January 2021

In 2017 Graham Hughes International Charity (GHIC) was set up by a group of expert doctors and researchers from around the world. GHIC has 3 aims: - Educating patients, doctors and anyone else affected by Hughes Syndrome. - Raising awareness - Research GHIC is 100% reliant on your donations.

Story

It's probably fair to say I eat too much and definitely fair to say i drink a little bit too much, so the time has finally come to do something about it. 

I recently got a bike and suddenly realised that with lockdown the streets of London are sadly deserted so perfect for a novice like me to explore. Nothing beats the feeling of cycling around the greatest city on Earth, so I thought i could do myself some good and at the same time raise some money for a charity very close to my heart. 

I am aiming to ride 400Km's by the end of January, in all weathers pounding out at least 100km's a week! considering i've never done anything like this before and look like i've eaten the butchers dog, rather than being fit as...well, its going to be a challenge.

Hughes Syndrome, or as it is sometimes called "Sticky Blood Syndrome" is a major cause of miscarriage, migraine and stroke, three awful conditions that can strike all ages. Hughes Syndrome is still woefully under diagnosed by GP's. Below is a great description of the condition:
