I'M CYCLING FROM BERLIN BACK HOME, BY MYSELF, AFTER A STAG DO! I MUST BE MAD, SO PLEASE DIG DEEP.

5 years ago I started cycling by taking on John O Groats to Lands End, after Emma a close family friend lost her fight to cancer. She'd just turned 16.

Back then I'd struggled to comprehend why I wanted to cycle. All I knew was that I wanted to put myself through something difficult that would help raise money for whatever Emma would have wanted. I didn't know then what that money would be used for, but I've now been lucky enough to see how much of a difference the money that we've donated can make.

Since then I've realised that through the charity you don't even need to raise money to make a difference. Every Moment Matters Always is our motto and even if no money is made, inspiring someone to go on to bigger and better challenges is what's really important. 

BUT it's time again for a challenge. This year I've decided to cycle solo from Berlin to London. I'm hoping to cover the distance of over 600 miles in 7 days.

Please support me in anyway that you can. The money that you donate will be used to provide the items that make it easier for teenagers stay at the Royal Marsden.
