Jayne and I both knew Kelly from early days of starting DoorCo, along with our long association with Glazerite, of which Kelly was part of the customer services team at one time.

When we heard the news of Kellys passing, we were devastated, so when John decided to put his energy into creating the Kelly's Heroes charity and the issue it was tackling, we couldn't do anything else but help in any way we can.

We created the Pink door range in memory of Kelly, to raise funds for Kelly's Heroes and to contribute in a small way to its running. Then when the Loneliest Road was mentioned to me by John, it provided another way to raise awareness and funds for the charity in a bigger way, but vitally providing the opportunity to increase much needed resources at the charity.

The Loneliest road proved to be a huge success both in Europe and USA, raising awareness and raising much needed funds and smashing everyone's expectations.

That was 2022 and now it's time to dust of the bike and go again on a new challenge to the lowest point, which involves a much more challenging terrain and temperature conditions to encounter. This will again be both a physical and mental challenge and with your help, will raise a life changing amount of money for a cause very close to our hearts.

Anyone who knows me well will know I am not great away from home for long periods of time and I am not great when also not in control, so riding from Gibraltar to the UK in 14 days with a team of 12, some I know and some I don't, will provide its own challenges, both mentally, physically and emotionally, so this will provide me a personal challenge that will all be worth it if we can raise similar funds to last time.

All donations are greatly appreciated and will spur me on to finish line.
