Welcome!
Hi,
Thank you for visiting my page.
As many of you know, this year I have become a keen cyclist, and after my seizure in October I was even forced to cycle for three months until the DVLA let me drive again! Sadly, I only had my licence back for two weeks until I had another seizure and lost my licence again. I have now been diagnosed as having a cavernona (cerebral cavernous malformation), with small vessell disease and white matter lesions. However, I am delighted that I am fitter and healthier than I have been for years. I hope to round off my first year in cycling by cycling from London to Paris next summer. to celebrate my 60th birthday which takes place during the ride.
I am raising money for Action Medical Research, a great charity that funds pioneering medical research.
In its 50 year history it has been involved with numerous breakthroughs such as ultrasound in pregnancy, the polio vaccine and the hip replacement operation.
They fund many research projects each year which will lead to a healthier future for everyone. They are currently campaigning for the UK Government to put more money in to research in to premature birth. Action Medical Research have funded over £2 million of research in this area but more research is required to understand why this remains the biggest killer of under 1’s.
With your help we can achieve even more medical breakthroughs.
Please tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK tax payer as the UK Government will then give me an additional 25% on the money that I have raised.
I need to raise £1,200 in sponsorship. £500 I'll pay myself, for the privilege of punishing my body. For the rest I need your support. Please click below to help me.
If you have other suggestions about how I can get sponsorship please send me an email using the 'Contact me' link above.
