World Water Day 22 March 2011

.

Let me take this opportunity to say thank you for visiting my blog.

I acquired my passion for cycling only in the summer of 2010 whilst training for a London to Paris charity bike ride. I took inspiration from my Dad who cycled Lands End to John O'Groats in 2007 and decided to take to the bike to help raise money for those less fortunate than me. I've always been involved in fundraising for various charities from a young age. I only recently came across WaterAid, a charity who help provide water and sanitation to those without. The statistic deeply shocked me and so I started from scratch and trained for the 300 mile cycle between two of the greatest capitals in the world.

In the space of a year I have gone from not particularly liking bikes to been a keen cyclist. Here is my journey!

It’s Official

I received confirmation last night, it is official, I have my place on the London to Paris cycle with Discover Adventure in September.


I did start training in January and I’m pretty pleased with my progress. Now I have to raise my minimum fundraising target by July and I’m hoping to top £2,000 by September. All money raised is going to support WaterAid. Their mission is to transform lives by improving access to safe water, hygiene and sanitation in the world's poorest communities.


Please visit my blog regularly to keep up-to-date with my training and fundraising efforts. I will also be posting information on fundraising events, special sports memorabilia auctions and other titbits for your delight. I will be adding pictures from my training adventures all the way to the actual event so you can follow me all the way.


Please forward the link to my blog to anyone and everyone you think will be interested in supporting myself and WaterAid.


Also, don’t forget to visit my JustGiving page and donate NOW!


Thank you x
