I had a safe and happy Welsh Valleys' childhood filled with sport and the outdoors and surrounded by a supportive family. Others are not so fortunate. So I'm cycling to Cannes from London with Club Peleton to try and raise money to help those (through Club Peleton’s young person’s Charities) who didn't have the start in life that I did.

I'm an 18st ex rugby player in his 60s and not a cyclist. So, wish me well and support me if you are able. Diolch!!
