About Jenni Jacobs

Hello!! 

I was asked by Josh Rubin (Graham's son) to take part in a charity bike ride in memory of his dad. 'Of course' I said. 'Why not!' After all, I do go spinning on a regular basis so i'm pretty sure I can do this. 

After not really thinking about it, I signed up and then it dawned on me that I was actually going to be cycling approx 40 miles on the road, outside!!!!! Here came 4 issues. 

1. I do not own a bike 
2. I do not own a helmet
3. My knees click every now and again 
4. I don't know how to ride on the road (how do I practice?!??!) 

After asking around if anyone had a bike and a helmet, I finally got to borrow one so now it's just a case of getting out on the road and practicing. 

Please sponsor me and help me raise money for a wonderful cause. The Focus Foundation has been established to transform the lives of adults with learning disabilities and those on the autistic spectrum.

I can't promise I will be fast but I assure you I will cross the finish line (at some point on the same day!) 

Thanks so much!! 
Jenni x
