Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am raising funds for MIND, a charity that provides advice and support to those struggling with mental health conditions.

My wife Christina developed a serious mental health condition three years ago out of the blue, and in early 2023 we were faced with a crisis while on holiday in Argentina. She was admitted to a hospital there for psychiatric treatment, followed by a separate admission to an NHS hospital when we returned to the UK. After some weeks in hospital in Worthing, Christina is much better.

In our moments of crisis around the time of her admission, MIND were very helpful to me with advice and counselling. To express my gratitude for the help and care that we both received, I wanted to do something challenging - so I'm going to cycle around the UK mainland coastline! Starting on 14th September 2023, I'll be cycling 100 miles each day for 40+ consecutive days (weather permitting). Christina will accompany me using public transport.
