Wow. What an adventure. I decided 6 months ago to raise money for EB by cycling London to Paris, my friends little girl was born with a rare and savage skin disease and I wanted ot help raise money for research. I trained for 5 months to be able to complete my challenge and wow what a challenge it was. Everyone doing London to Paris is there for their own reasons and they all had a story to tell, it was amazing to share the roads with new people and to share this experience with them.
Cycling can become quite serious quite quickly and it was amazing to remember why I enjoy being on my bike, it’s about seeing new places, from a new perspective with new people. For me it’s not about being the quickest or cycling the furthest, it sounds cheesy but it’s about the journey and it’s about enjoying it.
I feel very lucky to have enjoyed London to Paris whilst raising money for an amazing cause. It was a once in a lifetime experience that’ll I’ll never forget.
