<div>I’m hoping to raise money to benefit Cancer Research &amp; 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.  
</div>
<div>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.

</div>
<div>My dad, with my mum have inspired me to embrace the outdoors from when I was young &amp; 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.

<div>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 &amp; how effective it is with early intervention........Please get yourself checked!

<div>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 ♥️.
