I'm undertaking two challenges this autumn, a 100 Mile Bike ride for LOROS on 7th September and a Firewalk for the Leicester Hospitals Charity on 4th October.

I may have run a bit over the years but I am an absolute cycling novice and it's fair to say I've never walked on fire before.

I'm raising funds for two local charities. The cycle ride is for LOROS, a hospice caring for over 2.500 people across Leicestershire and Rutland, assisting in areas where the NHS is struggling to provide care.

And the NHS is where the Firewalk is helping out, enchancing the care the hospitals are providing, across Glenfield Hospital and the Leicester Royal Infirmary.

Any sponsorship is very greatly appreciated. I have a page for each of the events which is the easiest was to get the money direct to the charities. Please pick the one you think is the biggest challenge.
