3 countries, 3 weeks, 3.5k miles Solo Motorcycle Trip Around the UK Mainland Coastline - avoiding all motorways and even dual carriageways as much as possible!

I'm under no illusion this will be an easy task, it's going to be many hours of riding for 21 days straight, on tiny country lanes and some of the most challenging roads in the UK , through whatever weather June can throw at me!
It's also the longest time I'll have ever spent alone and by far the longest time I'll have ever spent away from my kids and family.

However this is a journey I have planned for a long time, and while I cannot wait to experience some of the most beautiful scenery the coast has to offer and the personal growth this trip will give me, the thought of the funds I'm raising for these incredible charities will keep me going on the tough days.

The Big C Charity is a cause that has been important to me since I was a child and I have supported them through various challenges from abseiling Norwich Castle to a 13,000ft skydive. This is by far the biggest challenge I have undertaken for them though so I'm hoping I can raise lots of sponsorship for them this time round!
The charity supports local people with cancer through ways such as research and personal support and they have directly impacted those close to me too. You can read more about their work in the link on this page.

Great Ormond Street Hospital is also a cause incredibly close to my family as they have cared for two of my young nieces.
Edith had a kidney removed when she was just 1 years old and they were brilliant in looking after her. I have personally suffered with kidney issues since I was little too, so I am so pleased to say that since Edith's GOSH visit she is now living a healthy life of a typical crazy 5 year old!
Olivia was in GOSH for an operation the day this fundraiser was created and has been continuously under their care and in and out of the hospital since she was born with a very rare condition 4 years ago. I'm so glad Olivia has such an excellent hospital to look after her and support her family.
I want to help give back a little to GOSH after all they have done, and will continue to do, for my family, and all the other amazing children they care for. You can also read more about Great Ormond Street via the link here.
