Story

I've decided to take on this huge physical challenge to show my support for those affected by Breast Cancer. Anyone who knows's me will know that I took up road cycling in July, but I wouldn’t call myself a sporty person having never taken part in any sport properly before. I would really like to push myself to achieve this goal. In July 2020, I will be cycling 230 miles from London to Paris and finishing underneath the Eiffel Tower. 

I am fundraising for Breast Cancer Now, the largest breast cancer charity in Europe funding life-saving research and life-changing care for everybody affected by Breast Cancer. 46,000 people are diagnosed with Breast Cancer every year in the UK. I thought this was a fitting charity to honor my grandma that I sadly never got to meet, who was lost to cancer and my Great Grandma directly from Breast Cancer.

If you can, any donation would be hugely appreciated as I prepare to take on this huge challenge and organise fundraising events throughout the year!

Thank you so much for your incredible support, I will make sure to keep you updated on my fundraising and training before I share my pictures at the finish line with you!
