Intro

A couple of years ago, my nephew Ben was born with Cystic Fibrosis, one of the UK's most common life-threatening inherited diseases which affects over 9000 people in the UK, including five new babies every week. It affects the internal organs, especially the lungs and digestive system, clogging them with thick sticky mucus which makes it hard to breathe and digest food.

To raise funds for the CF Trust, I took on the Nightrider 2012 challenge, a 100km cycle ride through London at night! and raised over £1600.


I'm now tackling the Oxford to Cambridge bike ride in September 2013, this time for the British Heart Foundation, another charity that means a lot to me.


I'd be very grateful if you would sponsor me for this challenge at http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/rew. All funds raised go to charity.

Big Mug

My cycle shorts have arrived, together with a "free" gift in the form of quite simply the biggest mug I have ever seen in the whole world.

I hope it's not a metaphor for me signing up for this challenge!

(Unfortunately it's got a huge bright Sports Direct logo on it which is a shame, because otherwise it would make a fantastic mug for tea, which I do like a lot!).
