Hi Subverts!

In April 2012 I'll be riding my bike from my home in Suffolk, East Anglia, to Anfield football stadium in Liverpool. My route will take me via Sheffield and the Hillsborough stadium where 96 Liverpool FC fans - some as young as 10 years old - lost their lives on April 15th 1989.

I'm cycling in the memory of those 96 souls, and to raise money for the Hillsborough Family Support Group, the Hillsborough Justice Campaign and (via The Community Foundation for Merseyside / The Jamie Caragher 23 Foundation) other Merseyside based charities and initiatives.

I've got a lot of hard work ahead of me to get in shape and prepare for this 280 mile ride and I'm blogging about my journey to prepare here:

Any amount you can donate, no matter how small will be massively appreciated.

I know football fans all over the world - regardless of their club allegiance - all are still saddened by the horrific events that unfolded during that FA Cup semi-final 22 years ago, and your donation can help in the continuing fight for truth and justice, and to improve the lives of kids on Merseyside.

Hello everyone.

With only a couple of weeks left before my ride, I'm still depserately short of sponsorship.

If you can spare a few quid to sponsor me it would be greatly appreciated!
