I’m hoping to raise money to benefit Cancer Research & The British Heart Foundation, I hope to complete the challenge in memory of my dad, who passed away from bowel cancer three years ago, and finish a journey to the top of Snowdon, which I started with Dad when I was a child.

For the challenge In August I'll be taking on a 305 mile cycle from North to South Wales, which includes a climb to the summit of Mount Snowdon and Cadair Idris, with a total ascent of approximately 35,106 feet, I'll be doing it on a 24-inch wheel children’s mountain bike.

My dad, with my mum have inspired me to embrace the outdoors from when I was young & it's what makes me feel alive to this day. My dad passed away in 2023 from bowel cancer, which wasn't diagnosed until 12 days prior to him passing; dad was incredible with his zest for life and the outdoors, and his strength of mind was amazing until the end.

I'm hoping that this fundraiser will encourage people to get any health concerns checked early, so they can receive treatment for life-threatening conditions in time. My mum and I have previously been successfully treated for skin cancer and uterine cancer respectively, but sadly, dad’s illness was a "hidden" cancer and was caught too late. I'm also going to be raising money for The British Heart Foundation, the UK’s biggest funder of research into cardiovascular disease, a cause that I champion as I suffer from hypertension, also known as high blood pressure. I only discovered that I had it after a visit to the NHS walk-in center for something unrelated, it's a disease that is linked to strokes and heart attacks and is so easily missed. My mum experienced a minor heart attack two years ago and has had 3 stents fitted, mum's back Taiko drumming now and loving it, so it just shows the valuable work and research they do & how effective it is with early intervention........Please get yourself checked!

If you can donate to my cause, I will be absolutely stoked as it'll be going to two amazing charities. If you can spread the word by sharing, that would be blooming marvellous too ♥️.
