I'm back! Christmas is approaching, and I am already thinking of the families who will spend it on NICU this year. 

I needed a new challenge, so... I am cycling (for the first time in about 15 years) the length of Great Britain from the comfort of my own living room! Chris has very kindly lent me his exercise bike (thanks, mate). What better challenge than to cycle Lands End to John O'Groats without having to leave the house? It will be 1,084 miles in total (1,743 km). 

I'm not setting a target to complete it - with work and two little ones, it will take as long as it takes. I will post updates here of my progress - I'm aiming to to do some cycling every day - let's see how long it takes! Thanks to The Conqueror website, I will be able to post updates of where I am on the map of the ride, places of interest passed, and how far to go. I'll even get a fancy medal at the end of it all! 

If you would like to buy me a Christmas present this year, please donate what you can to this Just Giving page. The generosity of friends and family these past years has blown me away, but I am also very conscious that times are hard. Please give only what you can. I know St Mary's will appreciate every penny. Please do not forget to add Gift Aid where appropriate - the more we raise, the better.
