I've been a keen cyclist for many years, having completed several short 35 mile night-time charity rides around London.

At the age of 72 I will be taking part in the London to Brighton Cycle Ride. The course is approximately 55 miles, with a steep hill to finish. A challenge to say the least and I am grateful that health allows me to do such things.

I support the BHF through my local Faringdon branch and love to do what I can to help with fund-raising for such an important and noble cause.

I will be covering my own expenses (entry fees, transport to Clapham & return from Brighton) so that all money raised will go to the British Heart Foundation.

Every penny counts; please give what you can!
