Hi folks

I have spoken in the past about my trusted c90 to those that know me and what I bought it for.

It is my intension in September to ride my cub from lands end to john o groats to do this for personal reasons.

One because I have always wanted to do this, and at the same time try and raise a massive amount for a meningitis charity.

Those that know me personally, will know how lucky we consider ourselves to have a child that seems to have come out ok after getting this nasty infection at seven weeks old.

Please follow the link to my just giving page and support me to try and beat my target of a £1000.00.

Many thanks to those who would like to contribute.

Thankfully not common now

Meningitis is a very nasty disease

Glad to support

I'll donate, but I can't see the link.

If you post it on this page I'll forward it onto my bike riding mates to try and spread the word a bit more.

It sounds like a great trip, are you doing it alone?

Thankyou to those that have sponsored me.

Meningits is the single biggest killer of children under 5.

There will be a vaccine which will be given to children pretty soon.

This charity that I have asked you to sponsor isn't about research, but being able to help families which are suffering from financial burden due looking after their loved ones?

The guy that runs the trust also has a daughter that has suffered with hearing loss due to the nasty infection.

Please keep chipping in folks.

Well with a little over 24 hours until we set off, I can't believe how quick this event has come around.

All the riders are excited and raring to go.

This will be a great event and a lot of fun with some great scenery.

As said before I can't thank those enough who have sponsored me for which I am greeatful.

if anyone else would like to donate then please feel free to do so.

Many thanks
