Help Me Make a Difference at the 2025 Etape Loch Ness!

I’m thrilled to announce that on April 27th, 2025, I’ll be taking on the challenge of the Etape Loch Ness, Scotland’s largest closed-road cycling event. It’s an incredible 66-mile (106 km) ride around the iconic Loch Ness, starting and finishing in Inverness.

This isn’t just a scenic ride—it’s a real challenge! With a 900m total ascent and the daunting King of the Mountain stage (a 4.8-mile climb at a 12% gradient), it’s not for the faint-hearted. But I’m motivated by more than just the thrill of the ride—I’m riding to make a difference.

My wife and I are proud members of the Macmillan Team, raising funds for Macmillan Cancer Support. This amazing charity provides vital help to people living with cancer, offering medical, emotional, and practical support when it’s needed most.

Here’s where you come in:

Your sponsorship can help transform lives. Every donation—big or small—directly supports Macmillan’s life-changing work.

Why donate?

It’s quick and easy to support me via JustGiving.

Every Euro, Doller or Pound you give goes directly to Macmillan, making an immediate impact.

You’ll be helping to give hope, strength, and care to those facing cancer.

Your generosity means the world to me, and together, we can make a real difference. Please share this with friends, family, or anyone who might like to support this cause.

Thank you so much for your support—it’ll keep me going up those hills!
