As some of you may know, myself and my daughter moved here from South Africa a little over 2 years ago. since then she has really settled into school here and built a wonderful social life, and i have done the same, i never thought i would build the bonds within the biking community that i have here so quickly.

sadly the time has come for us to renew our visas and i have found myself at a bit of a shortfall.

the total for our visas including the immigration health surcharge fee ( NHS) is £7 169.50 to be paid in december

i have managed to raise £5050. which includes a loan, so i am at the cusp of my credit limits.

The only choice i have now is to sell my beloved bike... which if you know me would be gut wrenching to have to do... so here i am. one last ditch effort to get the remainder of the money needed for my visa without losing my bike...

so heres hoping

thank you for reading
