Hi All,

I am going to cycle Phil's Cookie Fondo next Sunday. It is an 88mile ride through the toughest climbs of Malibu, CA ...

I started cycling when i was diagnosed with Psoriatic Arthritis a few years ago. The effects of the condition made running at the time impossible. Luckily through some medication, my condition disappeared but for many others, it does not. I can not imagine living with such pain that can pop up so randomly and thus I want to raise some money for those who were not as fortunate as myself.

Whilst seemingly not that long in distance, the climbing is pretty severe: nearly 9000feet and gradients of up to 19%. I know that this page will give me the energy and legs i need to persevere.

Any donation amount would be hugely appreciated and i know how much it would go to help those in need and in pain.
