Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. So for the last few years I've wanted to cycle from my home in South Shields to my new home in Spain. The time has now come to let my legs do the talking and ride the 1,500+ miles solo and as an ex-serviceman I'd like to raise some money for the Royal Air Forces Association.

For over 90 years, the RAF Association has championed a simple belief – that no member of the RAF community should ever be left without the help that they need.

Not since WWII has the RAF been so constantly deployed on global operations – and across the generations, the need for support is becoming ever more complex. Demand for our services is therefore increasing significantly.

For the sake of everyone who needs our help, we must continue to evolve and innovate to meet these new challenges and remain at the leading edge of service provision. We must champion the best interests of the RAF community more strongly than ever before.

Only then can we be sure that every member of our RAF community is receiving the support they need and deserve.
