This summer I’m doing two challenges in aid of charity:

• 17 June 2007 - cycling 56 miles on the London to Brighton bike ride - I did this ride for the first time last year and really enjoyed myself. It got me back into cycling and I've been riding most weeks since.
• 2 September 2007 - running my first marathon in the Kent Coastal Marathon - I've done a couple of half-marathons but now it's time for the full distance. A real challenge, both mentally and physically, but one I'm really looking forward to.

I'm raising money for the British Heart Foundation, Pilgrims Hospices in East Kent and the Luke Pellant Memorial Fund.

Sponsoring me through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: the charities will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Thank you for your support.
