Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As many of you will know I have been cycling for Charitable causes since 2002 and in that time have covered about 20,000 miles (ignoring the Training miles).  The costs of participating in all of these Cycling Challenges are paid for by the riders so that 100% of what we raise goes to the Charities that we support.

Predominantly 50% of the money raised is split between Cancer Research UK and British Heart Foundation the remainder has been given to other worthy Causes including Naomi House; Brains Trust; Teenage Cancer Trust; Asthma UK; MacMillan; Epilepsy Charities and many others.

In total the Property Pedlars Cycling Club riders have jointly raised over £150,000 - all from the kind donations received from you and our other supporters.

This year I will be riding in 3 main events - firstly from 10th June 571 miles from Biarritz to Girona - with just 54,400 ft of ascents in between over The Pyrenees in 7 days (Mount Everest is only 29,000 ft above sea level!).  The hardest day being 112 miles and over 12,000 ft of ascent!  My second event in August is the Prudential London Ride 100 - 100 miles with 25,000 other cyclists.  Finally the Massif Challenge of some 524 miles in 3 days (as a team of 4 riders) from St Malo to Clermont Ferrand.

We are all either personally helped by or know someone close to us who has been helped by these wonderful Charities - it is only through our support that they can continue with their works to try and eradicate some of the worst diseases that afflict those less fortunate than we are.  Please help me up those Mountains and to cover those miles by making it worthwhile!

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
