Hi friends,

Once again, I'm taking on a cycling challenge to support a very good cause. Its not all altruism though. I've been a keen cyclist for many years and have taken on challenges to support worthwhile causes whilst challenging myself. However, over the course of the last twelve months I've developed a heart condition and in June I hope to have a procedure to rectify it. I've been asked to return to cycling by doctors, to ensure that I'm fit to have this procedure and so I'm taking on this challenge to cycle 150 miles throughout May. It's not a lot

but it's what I can manage in the context of my current treatment. Your support and generosity will ensure that I start June with good health. Here's something about the charity:

I will be Cycling for Compton, to help raise vital funds.For over 40 years, Compton Care have been providing specialist palliative and end of life care to patients, and support for their families, helping them to navigate every aspect of life with a life limiting condition.Ever penny raised through Cycle for Compton will be used to help patients and support their families! Thank you so much for supporting me in this challenge! 💛💛
