Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On June 10th i will be setting off from Dumfries, Scotland and heading down through the Lake District, Lancaster, Blackpool, Preston, Southport, The Wirral, Chester, Warrington and ending in Macclesfield. This ride will cover 4 days, we will visit 17 care homes along the way and cover just over 230 miles.

As i write this i have just done 10 minutes on an indoor bike in the gym and i am wondering what i have let myself in for ..... so please help motivate me by donating as much as you can. I have lots of training ahead so will need all the support i can get.
