7 Rides. 7 Challenges

In April 2012 I start a discipline of 7 individual cycle challenges over a period of 7 months in aid of Great Ormond Street Hospital Kiss it Better charity, helping children who are fighting cancer. My target is to raise £25,000.

About CHALLENGE7
I decided back in 2011 to set myself a personal challenge regarding riding my bike. After many weeks of thinking what I really wanted to do I came up with the idea of CHALLENGE7. This would be a discipline of 7 individual cycling journeys that would take me from London to Monte Carlo and across the French Alps, over the Pyrenees, as well as tackling mountains in Belgium, Italy, Switzerland and Spain. When (not “if”!) I complete these challenges I will have covered over 3,500 miles, climbed over 219,000ft and cycled up some of the
steepest mountains in Europe.



I know I will have to cope with some tough times ahead as I take on this challenge, but knowing that the money I raise will be helping children that are going through extremely difficult circumstances gives me even more strength and determination to achieve what I have set out to do.
