Lauren's first charity ride - in honour of Auntie Gill

London to Brighton Cycle 2023 · 10 September 2023 ·
Having bought my first road bike (like so many others!) in the first lockdown, and recently upgraded a far superior bike, it's fair to say that I have well and truly got the bug and joined the "lycrabrigade" :)
So, it's time to put my efforts to good use and take on my first charity ride. It's not especially long, but does have a few little ondulations (inc a 10% incline for a mile ish at one point!) so it certainly won't be a total breeze. So looking forward to it though, especially to experience what it's like riding in such a large group.
When choosing who to "ride for", the decision was a bit of a no brainer as my mum's younger sister, my Auntie Gill, passed back in 2016 in her 50s after a long, arduous battle with multiple sclerosis. I knew I wanted to help fund research into the condition and support for those living with it having seen how difficult life was for Gill.
So, if you can spare a few quid (or maybe a little more than a few?!) please do consider sponsoring me. Thank you in advance.
I'll of course post updates so you know how I get on!
