Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  I am aware that many of you gave to this charity last year when Jo held her garden tea parties. This year it's my turn, but this event is definitely my swan song, and we promise not to pester you again.   

The Sick Children's Trust offers free accommodation for parents just minutes from their child's hospital bedside.  Since January 2015 our grandson Theo has  been in and out of Great Ormond Street Hospital undergoing cancer treatment. On countless occasions Jeremy and Yvonne have been able to stay in The Sick Children's Trust's house just round the corner. 

The Prudential RideLondon-Surrey 100 follows the course of the 2012 Olympic 100 mile road race, taking in the major sights of London as well as climbing Box Hill and Leith Hill (AKA Lethal).  I am training hard on my new carbon fibre bike, my birthday present from Jo.  She also bought me a snazzy lycra outfit.  As you can see, I am a kept man and have no excuses for failing in this quest. Your support through JustGiving will also keep me going and if you are anywhere near the course on 31st July, please hold out a banana as I pedal by.
