On Sunday 14th September, Matthew will be taking on the London to Brighton cycle, to raise money for The Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

Starting on Clapham Common, the 55 mile cycle will take Matthew out of London and through the country side, passing through Mitcham, Carshalton, Chipstead, Banstead and Haywards Heath before taking on the challenge that is Ditchling Beacon – a mile long climb to the top of the South Downs.

Matthew will be taking on this challenge on his full suspension mountain bike.

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic condition which causes sticky mucus to build up in the lungs and digestive system. It affects more than 11,000 people in the UK. One in 25 of us carries the faulty gene that causes it, usually without knowing.

Cystic fibrosis comes with challenges, affecting our physical health, mental wellbeing and how we choose to live our lives. But our community is uniting towards the ultimate goal of effective treatment for all.

Cystic Fibrosis Trust is the charity uniting people to stop cystic fibrosis.
