In May I will be joining the Catalyst ride, cycling over 400km from London to Bruges to raise money for Action Medical Research (AMR) and the important science that they fund.

AMR are the leading UK charity dedicated to funding vital research to help sick and disabled babies, children and young people. Action have been funding medical breakthroughs for 70 years and have helped to beat polio, fight meningitis, prevent stillbirths and develop ultrasound scanning in pregnancy. They are now driving forward children's research, including in the fight against premature birth and rare diseases.

On the Catalyst ride I will join around 40 riders cycling from London to Bruges. We will take on some iconic Belgian roads and Murs that will really test the legs.

By donating money for this incredible charity, you are helping to find ways to reduce premature birth, to support children facing a lifetime of challenges caused by disabilities, and to develop cutting-edge therapies for rare and incurable diseases. With your help we're determined to make a real change to children's lives.
