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.
