An avid non-cyclist, with a nackered knee and a running career now over, running a marathon for charity was out. Instead, I’m proud to be taking part in Montare’s London>Paris cycle in support of Action Medical Research for children.

Any support you can provide is greatly appreciated and goes to a fantastic cause.

Action Medical Research is the leading UK charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies, children and young people. Action have been funding medical breakthroughs for over 70 years now and have helped to beat polio, fight meningitis, prevent stillbirths and develop ultrasound scanning in pregnancy. They are now driving forward children's research, including in the fight against rare diseases.

By donating, you are helping to find ways to reduce premature birth, to support children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and to develop cutting-edge therapies for rare and incurable diseases. With your help we're determined to make a real change to children's lives.
