It’s time for me to plan this year’s challenges. Those who know me will know I try to raise funds each year for Breast Cancer Now, a charity very close to me and my family.

This year I’m aiming to raise £1,000 and complete 1,000 miles before my 75th birthday in August.

I did think about taking on Land's End to John o' Groats, which is also around 1,000 miles, but the costs and logistics were a bit too much — so I’ll be completing the miles closer to home instead.

I’ll also be taking part in the LCL and Le Dans rides again. Last year I completed 76 miles in around 8 hours — not bad for someone not exactly built like a cyclist! 😂

Every mile and every donation will help support the amazing work Breast Cancer Now does for people affected by breast cancer.

Thank you so much for your support. It really does mean a lot.
