Most people who know me know that I can’t ride a bike, so I thought that I would do the obvious thing and sign up to cycle 54 miles from London to Brighton. Luckily, I have to help of my boyfriend-turned-coach, Chris, to help me.

On 21st June, Chris and I will be cycling the British Heart Foundation London to Brighton Bike Ride, raising money for Mind. We thought this would be a good opportunity to push ourselves and raise money for a great cause.

In the UK, 75% of suicides are committed by men, with 14 men taking their own life every single day. This is a cause that means a lot to Chris and I, having both known people personally that unfortunately decided to take their own lives. More needs to be done to improve men’s mental health and we hope that this challenge can help in some way

Any donations, however big or small, or just words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
