Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

One evening, I was speaking to one of my best friends - Craig Handley just like any other conversation we would have. The next day I received the news he had committed suicide.

I was affected by the passing of my friend and although it always will, I found this to deepen during the times of COVID-19 lockdown. Cycling became my escape which I quickly learned was not only a benefit for my physical health, but majorly improved my mental health, therefore I would encourage people to use exercise to help their mental health and services such as Argyll Wellbeing Hub. If even one person seeks the help they need from this, then I have achieved something.

Since lockdown, I have dedicated myself to cycling and have explored variation of challenges - cycling the equivalent of Everest being one of them. I will be cycling 28 reps of Cruachan Dam road, which will be 155 miles and the evaluation of 8848 meters - the aim is for 16 hours completion.
