* Update - thank you SO MUCH to everyone for all your support in so many ways, as well as all the generous donations. I just wanted to answer a couple of questions I've been asked regularly about my cycle & fundraising and give you a little itinerary below.  

Yes! - I am actually cycling from London to Paris and not doing it virtually!

Fundraising - I paid a registration fee to cover travel/accommodation so your donations go straight to the charity.

Itinerary - 

Day 1, London to Dover, 85 miles

Day 2, Calais - Montreuil Sur Mer , 46 miles

Day 3, Montreuil-sur-mer to Beauvais, 95 miles (gulp!)

Day 4, Beauvais to Paris, 58 miles, finishing at the Eiffel Tower. I then get 24 hours in Paris before heading home on the Eurostar. 

I like cycling, but 20 miles including a breakfast stop (or a pint!) is normally enough for me. So 270 miles over a few days to Paris is definitely going to be a challenge (and probably give me a sore arse!) Many of you will know why I'm doing this. I guess I'm doing it because hopefully it will help save someone, somewhere. 

A little bit below about the charity.
