This summer I'm doing the Transcontinental Race - 4,000km unsupported on my bike from Belgium to Greece via checkpoints in Austria, Slovenia, Poland and Bosnia (no that's not a straight line).

I'm doing it to challenge myself but that's nothing compared to the challenge my Mum, family members and have friends have faced when they have been diagnosed with cancer. So you can support and motivate me on my ride by sponsoring me and giving money to Cancer Research UK. It will give me another reason to keep pushing in the dark moments and together we can reduce the chance of others facing the scourge of cancer.
