No better way to start 2019 than with a new challenge and a whole new sport… I’ve somehow been convinced to join the exciting world of cycling and I have agreed to take part in a bike ride from London to Cannes this March... a grand total of 1,500km. I am still asking myself why but hope that all the early morning training, sore legs and hard work will pay off once I start seeing the glorious glimmering Mediterranean sea from a distance and cross that finish line.
My goal is to raise £2,500 for Coram. Coram is a children’s charity that helps thousands of vulnerable children every year by developing their skills, building emotional strength, upholding children’s rights and finding adoptive parents for those in greatest need.
Any contribution, small or big, would make a huge difference to Coram, and would mean a lot to me!
On another note, if anyone has any tips (so far I have been heavily reliant on Sir Chris Hoy’s book) or would like to go on bike rides with me, let me know!Over six days cyclists will take part in a relay from London to the MIPIM property fair in Cannes. Each rider completes an average of two 60km stages each day, with a break of up to 4 hours between each stage. Riders will complete at least 720km over the 6 days.
This charity relay provides you with a fantastic challenge, excellent networking opportunities and a chance to change the lives of those most in need.
