Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Having completed the 1100 miles cycle ride in May 2011, (the whole trip included climbing the 3 peaks in just 14 days!) No support vehicle used..just a mobile to sort accommodation en-route! Nick and I would like to say a massive thank you to all that have donated so far. We really do appreciate your encouragement and support. Completed a climb up Kilimanjaro in March 2012 with my Son Jack. 600 mile cycle on first leg of an around Britain cycle! No support vehicle used! Nick is cycling the whole 2500 miles! This will truly be a remarkable feat!! His charities can be gifted via his just giving sites.  Any further donations will be greatly appreciated as were hoping to raise more towards our 5k total.

Having watched my younger brother stopped in his tracks by a neurological condition called Dystonia recently, The opportunity to do something to help him arose.


The work of the Dystonia Society
The Dystonia Society is the only charity providing support and information for people living with dystonia across the UK. Its aims are to ensure that everybody living with dystonia has access to the support; treatment and information that they need to enjoy the best possible quality of life.


Dystonia is a debilitating and painful neurological condition which affects the muscles. It affects 70,000 people in the UK. Because of the lack of awareness people diagnosed with the condition can be left feeling isolated and frightened.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

As an ex serviceman having served in the Royal Engineers from 1976-1987 i'm more than happy to help try and raise money for the Rifles and Macmillan alike.
