<div>I turned 50 in January and have always wanted to take part in a long distance multi day cycling event. Or as it's also known a mid-life crisis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>In September of this year, I will be taking part in the Babble Ride Across Britain where me and 800 others will cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats over 9 days, cycling roughly 100 miles or more per day.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Whenever I've told anyone what I am doing they have always asked if I'm doing this for charity, and while this hadn't been my original plan it seemed like too good an opportunity to pass on.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My daughters attend <strong>East Liverpool Riding for the Disabled</strong> every Sunday, and I know first-hand how much it benefits them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>East Liverpool RDA</strong> is headed up by Natalie, run by volunteers and funded by donations. They need approx £100,000 a year to stay open and I am hoping that I can help them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hate asking for sponsorship - money is tight for everyone, but I know how much this will help them and so I know it is the right thing to do. I have funded my own place in the event so that any money raised will go directly to them.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>RDA</strong> are finding it harder and harder to raise money - funding is drying up and they aren't curing the incurable or fighting injustice.
</div>
<div>What they do provide is a moment of happiness and fulfilment for children and adults by offering riding sessions with horses and ponies for individuals with complex learning difficulties or disabilities including those suffering long-term illness.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>This website requires a fundraising target so I've set it at £980 - or £1 per mile, we don't have to stop there - though I will have to stop at John O'Groats as bicycles don't float.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>It'd be great if you could support the RDA with me.
</div>
