Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Cardiovascular disease unfortunately runs in both sides of my family - and is a terrible thing, as much when it brings life to a sudden end (my Aunty Betty, my Uncle Doug...) as when it leads to incapacitation of previously active and healthy people (my Grandmother). Pharmaceutical companies have made amazing progress in reducing the incidence of heart attack and stroke, but cardiovascular disease remains the biggest single killer in the UK.

Having taken up road cycling properly last year (in large part to maintain my fitness), I wanted to do a good, long ride this summer. Why not, therefore, raise some money for a worthwhile cause while doing so?

Thank you for anything you can give. Here comes the official stuff...
