A few years ago I accompanied my dad on a charity bike ride for Norwood. Apart from raising money for charity it gave me the opportunity to interact with some of the residents from Norwood.

My dad, having just reached his target of raising £100,000 after 20 years has decided to call it a day and I feel its my obligation to pick up the mantle in continuing this good work.

The 5 day ride spans across 6 cities in Italy. Although it sounds lovely being in Tuscany in the June heat, cycling up to 90 KM a day in hilly terrain will be no easy task for my skinny legs!

The aim is to challenge myself whilst raising as much money as possible for this amazing charity.
