EDIT 4: 1500!!!

L2B this year was the toughest thing I’ve put myself through, but 7 hours later I crossed the line in Brighton!

Thanks you to everyone who donated, its really motivated me to do this!

Stretch goal 1 is done, so as promised that’s at least another 150 miles on a bike in July and August, I’ve upped the ante again so will we hit £2000, committing me to another 50 miles, half on a Brompton. And, Mrs and health permitting I’ll have another go at L2B next year!

Second Stretch goal - £2000

Again if I hit this before the end of June that will be 200 miles in July and August, but I’ll also commit to half of that milage on the Brompton.

Secondly (wife and health permitting) I’ll put in to do the L2B again next year to raise more money.

EDIT 3: £1000!!! That’s madness! Thank you so so much!

Only a few days to go so let’s put some stretch goals in.

There has been some blood, a lot of sweat, and I suspect the tears will come on Sunday so please dig deep and sponsor me!

First stretch Goal - £1500

If I hit this before the end of June I’ll pledge to ride an 10 miles per £100 raised over July and August, so 150 miles additional time on the bike. Anyone who knows me will know how finding time is my issue so that’s a huge commitment from me, not sure my Mrs will be happy though…

EDIT 2: back from holiday and we’ve hit £750! Thanks so much all you incredible people. Do you think we can hit £1000? Let’s find out.

EDIT: This is Amazing. Hit my goal within 24 hours. I have upped the target to £750… suggestions for stretch goals welcome…

It's been on my list for a while now... so as part of my celebrating my 50th, and because life is short, I'm doing the 55-mile London to Brighton Bike Ride this year.

The British Heart Foundation do amazing research into Heart diseases, Strokes, Vascular dementia, and Diabetes - illnesses that have impacted many of us and our loved ones.

Long Covid has given me an insight into living with ongoing health issues and I feel I have a personal connection to this cause.

I've set a target to raise £500, and if we hit it I'll look at a stretch goal where I'll do something extra to get more money for this amazing research.

Whatever you can give will be very much appreciated and your support means so much to me.

Thanks so much!
