I am cycling Coast to Coast 140 miles from the Lake District to Tyne and Wear with a few friends, one of which roped us in to celebrate his 60th birthday!!!

I wasn’t going to raise money for charity, on this occasion, but after chatting with Mandy Ambert, we thought this would be a great opportunity to raise funds for The Liver Trust which is directly linked to her successful operation.

The charity reaches and supports thousands affected by, and at risk of, liver disease and liver cancer. They provide support and information through their nurse-led Helpline, support groups, publications and online forum. The charity raises awareness of the causes of liver disease, providing free liver scans on their Love Your Liver roadshow and they also campaign for early diagnosis, better care and treatment for everyone affected.

Please help us to support the charity's work by sponsoring me. The more people that know about the British Liver Trust, the greater their impact, so please spread the word by sharing this page with all your friends and family and your networks.

Thank you for your support, it really does mean a lot to me.
