Hi, guys! Karl here :-)

This 4-day challenge is more personal than ever for me, as Mum is currently undergoing chemo and soon an operation. I'm so grateful to everyone who donated when I undertook the previous challenge in 2019, and now is time to go again - this time to Italy! It's going to be an amazing experience, and the key thing is to raise loads for Macmillan who do such fantastic work. Greene King are a long-term partner, for good reason. We're seeing first-hand how great they are for Mum and others. If you can spare a few quid to help, that would be amazing!

...as well as motivational messages, I'm going to need those, too! Fitting in the training is going to be really tough in the coming weeks, and there are some big Italian climbs to conquer! Eek emoji.

Thanks again for your support, I really appreciate it.

Karl :-)

PS. The dates I'll be in the saddle are in fact Sept 23/24/25/26, not October as shown above.

Here's the standard blurb...

Thanks for supporting my fundraising. Macmillan gives people with cancer everything they’ve got. If you’re diagnosed, your worries are Macmillan’s worries. Macmillan’s doing whatever it takes. But without your help, Macmillan can’t support everyone who needs them. Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and secure. Your details are safe, JustGiving - they'll never sell them 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.
