Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I

In September this year I'm going to to ride a bike from the Atlantic to the Mediterranean, via a small mountain chain called the Pyrenees.

Riding with a special team of 15 armed forces veterans, all of whom have suffered injury or misfortune of one sort or another. We are part of "65 Degrees North" (65degreesnorth.co.uk), a small non-charitable outfit.

65 Degrees North believes in "Rehabilitation through Adventure" and this event will provide just that.

 I've had a few adventures during this time, all of them hugely rewarding, but none as challenging as this. This is a team effort and we are blessed with a great team - all under the inspirational leadership of Jonathan Thomson.

I joined the team late as they gathered at Swansea University in May for a day of work-outs, tests and research followed by a fund-raising gala dinner. This marked the serious start of my training for the 700km bike ride with 11,500m of ascent.

I am raising funds for the Royal Marines Charity because it does excellent work.

 It is also supporting hundreds of other deserving people throughout the Royal Marines family.

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.
