Story

Hi Everyone!  I committed to something a bit crazy and now I’m asking for your support.  In June I’m riding my bicycle across the United States from California to Maryland to raise money for my company Reckitt Benckiser’s global charity Save the Children.  There are 8 of us from RB in North America who will ride 24/7 over one week across 12 states in what has been called THE HARDEST cycling event in the world (Race Across America, "RAAM”).  I’ve been training since last October which includes getting up at 5am during the week before Millie and Liam wake to get in my workout before I drive to the office.  If you’re asking why I would do this, I’ve asked myself the same thing since it’s physically beyond anything I’ve ever done before.  I’m motivated by who is on my team, by the charity, by my company’s support of this, and most of all by the example I can set for my children that challenges can be overcome if you have the right mindset.  I would really appreciate your support to meet our team goal of $150,000 towards Save the Children’s US efforts.  Wish me luck!
