Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I will be taking on the challenge of cycling from London to Paris which is over 300 miles in just four days in September 2025.

Josh my son will be cycling, running or walking 1km for every £1 that is donated from now on- let’s get him moving.

I am raising funds for Macmillan Caring Locally in honor of the inspiring Ben Cull, a talented Southampton and England football player. Approximately a year ago, Ben spent time at Macmillan Caring Locally while bravely battling cancer for the second time. His resilience, positivity, and gratitude for the time he had with his family left a lasting impression on me.

Ben’s journey motivated me to contribute to the important work of this charity, which continues to support families facing similar challenges. I aim to honor Ben's legacy and the ongoing efforts of his friends and family.

His story serves as a poignant reminder that cancer can affect anyone, regardless of age or fitness. It emphasises the significance of every day and the necessity of supporting organisations that provide exceptional care.

I greatly appreciate any support you can offer as I undertake this significant challenge. I currently do not own a bike and have only recently begun training. After a brief 30-minute ride, I found certain aspects of cycling quite challenging. With upcoming rides of up to 100 miles, I am committed to training diligently to raise funds for this worthy cause.
