Taking your health, fitness and future for granted is something we often do all too easily. This year, I have been unfortunate to of experienced the reality of this for myself. Gladly, I am now on the road to full recover and looking forward to my next 'more positive challenge', my goal to regain full fitness and raise much needed funds and awareness for Katharine House Hospice, Stafford.

A great guy by the name of Kev Wheeler, who I met through our passion for bikes, faced the unimaginable challenge of being diagnosed with terminal cancer and sadly died earlier this year, leaving a massive void for all those who knew and loved him.

When the Katharine House Hospice Pedal to Paris leaflet dropped through my letterbox, I knew this was for me; my chance to repay the gratitude to the hospice and everyone who cared for Kev and his wonderful family.
