I am taking part in The Tour 21 Strava Challenge where I will ride the same distance as the longest stage of this years Tour de France route - 248km, between 19th June and 11th July.The aim is to raise vital funds for Cure Leukaemia, supporting the Tour 21s fundraising target of £1 million as 25 amateur cyclists take on the Tour de France route ahead of the pros.Every single £ raised will be invested in Cure Leukaemias vital life-saving work, with the aim of finding a cure for blood cancer within the next 15 years.

My friend Steve Faulkner and all time hero Geoff Thomas are taking part in the Tour 21. Kudos to them and the whole team.
