Redhead on Two Wheels: My goodness..

My goodness..

I've spent today at the screen sending out emails - telling friends and family far and wide about this crazy little adventure of mine! And £1050 pounds sponsorship has come in already!

Suddenly my target of £10,000 is feeling achievable... i do hope i can reach it...

More to the point - i do hope i can cycle the whole thing!

Having listened to the wind battering the windows all day whilst i've been emailing - i can avoid it no longer - time to get on the bike!

Thank you kind and generous friends... i know the time will come when the only thing that gets me up the hills is knowing of your support! You've done a great thing, Acorns is a wonderful charity!

Welcome!

I can hardly believe it but on the 1st September i am going to cycle the 1000 miles from Lands End to John O' Groats. Obviously not all on one day (that would just be daft!!) but it all starts on September 1st. Why am i doing this? Well really for two reasons -

- Firstly in memory of my Dad who did this amazing feat when he was 67. He was going to repeat it when he was 69 but was sadly diagnosed with lung cancer instead.

- Secondly to raise money for an amazing children's hospice called Acorns. Dad managed to raise a considerable amount for them whilst he was alive and i hope to do the same.

Please get involved by reading about my recent entry into the world of cycling as i update news of training and events and ultimately the trip itself - and also by sponsoring me...

If you know me you'll know that i haven't cycled since the early 90's and i really am the least likely person to do something like this - it is a HUGE challenge and fills me with fear and terror as well as excitement! Please help me feel your support in any way that you can!
