Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On the 1st of June next year I am going to set off from London and Following the Ride 25 route I will make my way by Bicycle to Istanbul, riding over 4000kms in 5-6 weeks, I will be mostly unsupported, carrying my own kit and supplies.

Being driven by goals is something that embraces my Life's too short philosophy that was fully cemented by losing my Dad.

In 2006 my Dad was senselessly attacked, leaving him with such bad brain damage that part of his brain and skull were removed to relieve the swelling.

The Royal Hospital worked tirelessly for 2 years trying to bring some of my Dad back to us. Sadly it was not to be and he died after 12 years of being totally non-communicative.

Although the outcome was not as we would have wished, the work that the hospital do cannot be undervalued.

The Royal Hospital was such a place of hope for us and many families with relatives affected by Nuero Disability of all kinds.

We will always be heart broken. I would like to do this ride in my Dads memory.
