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!

Update...

So the big cycle the other weekend went great, I thoroughly enjoyed it. Just a shame Sarah couldn’t make it but hopefully next time. Thankfully the sun came out eventually after a little downpour in the early hours. I cycled around much of Rotherham including Wentworth, which is just so pretty and cute. I also cycled down the Tinsley Viaduct, now that was pretty scary! Unfortunately I didn’t get chance to get out on my bike over the bank holiday weekend but I definitely am this coming weekend. I’m addicted!



I want to wish my sister, Beth, a very happy 1st birthday. I also want to thank all the generous people who sponsored me at her birthday party. I have now reached 12% of my fundraising total. Time is ticking though and I would love to reach 25% by the end of the month. Please please spread the word, I cannot do this without your support.


Remember just £15 can enable one person to access safe water, improved hygiene and sanitation.
