Hi, in 2011 our family lost our much loved 8 year old niece Bella to leukemia. She was a wonderful little girl but sadly had such a short life. I am inspired by her, to help others in the same situation with the same illness.

My chosen charity supported her & the family during this difficult time. Therefore I am compelled to raise some money for them, just because I can. I know it will be used well to continue to try to find a cure for this dreadful disease as well as support those trapped by it.

This is the link to the event - http://classicchallenge.co.uk/challenge-finder/Cycle+London+to+Paris+-+2018/  

NB - as a footnote not a lot of people know I had a stroke last year. This event will be on the 2 years anniversary of when it happened. I have lost 10-20% of the mobility and feeling in my left arm/hand and left foot. But, I am overall pretty much OK & can ride a bike!
