My Local Hero award from Spirit FM, one of my local radio stations. Who interviewed me just before I set off on my first long-distance bike ride. Spain to England.
The photo was taken by my daughter, who picked up the award on my behalf at the awards ceremony. I was still away in China on the final leg of my ride around the world.
Please Donate
Don’t forget the main reason behind my ride. I want to raise as much money for cancer research charities as possible. After my wife, Josie, died of breast cancer in 2007, aged only 42. Even the smallest donation helps. You can donate to Cancer Research UK or the Australian National Breast Cancer Foundation. Click on either one to donate. Every little bit helps to rid the world of this cruel disease.
