Hello Everyone,

Just thought you would like to hear what we have been up to recently. Myself and Marc, who has JHD, took part in a sponsored bike ride to help raise funds for the Make-a-Wish UK charity. As you can see we were lucky enough to use a special bike call a Duet. It is a bike with a wheelchair attached to the front. It is very easy to use as I found out.

On the day of the ride of five and a half miles I almost passed out. I guess it was the excitement and stress of it all, and the fact that it was a bit hot for this time of year in the UK.

The day went great and Marc enjoyed the ride, especially going really fast down the hills. It has been over two years since he had been on a bike so it was very special for him too. Make-a-wish was so pleased that Marc insisted on doing this ride, as he had a wish granted last year. It was to fly to America and visit Disney World. His dream came true, and we have a lot of pictures and video footage to prove what a fantastic time we had. We all Love America!!!!!!!

Marc raised over £450 for this charity and we are so, so PROUD of his achievement. Another piece of fun, happiness and laughter, was to see Marc smile like he had never smiled before, all day long. These are memories to treasure always.

This piece is from a very, very proud parent!!!
