In July this year I will be taking part in The Ride For Precious Lives with Team Edwards! This is a 220-mile epic bike ride over three days traveling through three counties from St Austal, Cornwall back to Bristol.

This two wheeled challenge is in aid of Children’s Hospice Southwest, an incredible charity that I have got to know lots about since working at Edwards. Their inspiring work helps very poorly children and their families 24-7 every day of the year.

Luckily, I can ride a bike, albeit at a very slow pace, adorning the skin tight Lycra has in fact been the biggest challenge thus far.

Training began back in January, and I will be posting regular updates throughout the challenge. So, if you fancy keeping track of the inevitable pain and suffering, stay tuned, or better still if you would consider sponsoring me, by donating to this wonderful cause, you're in the right place.

Please help us raise vital funds to support and care for children and young people living with life-limiting conditions, and their families.

Thanks Ian & The Edwards Clevedon Team.
