My eldest son, Patrick, is doing something pretty epic this week.
Along with 40 or so colleagues, he is undertaking a 5 day sponsored cycle challenge from Portsmouth to Newcastle, raising money for Motor Neurons Disease Association. Their total so far stands around £33k, which is pretty incredible.
They started out on Monday morning, and at the time of writing it is the half way point at day 3 as they peddled their way through Northamptonshire, Leicestershire and into Derbyshire. We met him and his team at their lunch stop, all looking pretty hot and sweaty it has be said, but spirits were still high, and legs were still looking strong!
What could Wendy Bakes do to show her support? Take a (bike) shed load of cakes and biscuits of course! All of which were hoovered up gratefully! I think if I offered delivery, I would have got some new customers today - its amazing how good cake tastes after a long peddle!
Actually, Wendy Bakes also gave some sponsorship money, and took clean boxer shorts and socks, and supplied suntan lotion which he forgot to pack...but really that was just 'mum'!!!
Tomorrow is where the real hills start!
So proud of my son. xx
