On 1st September I’ll start my 🇫🇷 Alps cycling challenge.

I’ll be cycling 🚴 9 Cols / classic climbs over 6 days – Col de Semnoz, Col de la Madeleine, Col de la Forclaz de Montmin, Col de Tamié, Col du Glandon, Col de la Croix de Fer, Col du Télégraphe, Col du Galibier, and finally Alpe d’Huez.

This challenge is slightly different to my LEJOG and Caen to Nice rides as it’s shorter at 250 miles but it’s 9700m of elevation ⛰️ !

On 22nd March, Tony was enjoying a game of golf ⛳️ with a good friend near Basingstoke when he suffered a heart-attack on the course.

Hampshire & Isle of Wight Air Ambulance were dispatched and came to his aid due to the severity of the emergency and his location.

The helicopter took only 23 minutes to reach him. They worked extensively and transported him to Basingstoke hospital where he remained in intensive care for a week. Sadly, my father-in-law Tony passed away on 29th March.

As a family, we’d really appreciate 😊 your support to raise valuable funds for Hampshire and Isle of Wight Air Ambulance who were there for him in his hour of need.

It currently costs in excess of £17,750 a day to maintain their life saving service, and it is only thanks to the generosity of the communities that we serve that we are able keep the Air Ambulance flying and saving lives.
