I've always admired people who, through their own selfless efforts contribute towards a great charity like Macmillan.

I wanted to find a way to "salute" and support the great work these guys do and the lengths they are prepared to go to, helping those who need them the most.

So here it is, my very first ever charity event and hopefully not my last, this is my contribution in some way to help support a great charity and an amazing group of people.

I hope you will help me reach my goal in the coming months as I train and prepare for 4 very long days in the saddle!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
