    Hey guys,

    I hate doing what I'm about to do but at the end of the day I know it's for a good cause so I'm going to swallow my pride and just do it.

    On August 10th this year I'm going to be taking part in a cycling event called Ride London. It's 100 miles and for someone who had never really cycled before like myself it's going to be extremely tough.

    However a few friends from my work and I are doing it for the charity SANDS. SANDS has a nationwide group of local networks run by bereaved parents to support anyone affected by the loss of a baby.

    We chose this charity as it's close to our hearts after an event which happened earlier this year with a close colleague.

    If you have any interest I've attached a link. I'd love it if you clicked on the link and had a look even if you do not wish to donate.

    http://uk.virginmoneygiving.com/fun...userUrl=CPTRideLondon&faId=441393&isTeam=true

    The training is tough and at the moment the most I've managed to do is just under 50 miles but I'm confident that come August 10th I will complete the 100 miles.

    Thanks for reading guys! I appreciate it :50:
