Why!

Tuesday 2nd Jun

Thank you so much for visiting my page.

In a few weeks time I'll be taking on the challenge of cycling from London to Brighton in support of Parkinson's UK.

For me, this is significant personal challenge. It's been many years since I've been on a bike, and tackling this iconic ride includes the infamous Ditchling beacon climb which will certainly push me out of my comfort zone to say the least.

I've chosen to support Parkinson's UK because this affects thousands of individuals and families across the country the condition can have a profound impact on everyday life, and the charity provides real vital support, advice, research funding and campaign to improve the lives of those affected.

Every mile I ride is for the 'cause that makes a real difference. If you're able to support me, no matter how small the amount I'd be ever so grateful.

Every penny helps Parkinson's UK continue its important work and brings us one step closer to better treatments and ultimately a cure.

Thank you for your support and encouragement it will certainly help me get to Brighton! 

Thank you to my sponsors

Good luck! If it's a bit too easy for you, you could always turn it into a triathlon and swim across the channel before running over to Calais and getting the ferry back
