It’s amazing how things work out sometimes, isn’t it?
In November 2015, I successfully completed my 6th annual 5-day international bike ride to raise funds for Norwood, a charity that supports children and young people with disabilities, using a specially modified recumbent trike. This time I was riding 400 km from the middle of the Negev Desert up to the big hills of Jerusalem (again in Israel).
I am glad to also be able to report now that I managed to raise the £15,000 target that I was hoping to for Norwood. I also wish to thank those of you who read this update who kindly sponsored me.
I must say though that this was probably the most ‘challenging’ ride that I have ever done. It even included riding up one of the biggest mountains (assisted by a professional cyclist) on the 4th day of the ride.
Also, for the second time, I did this ride with my 18 year-old son, Zachi. Although he did not ride up the mountain himself that afternoon, he helped me considerably by passing me at one point in a van with a beat-box loudly playing out the song ‘Eye of the Tiger’ which was the theme tune to one of the ‘Rocky’ films, which motivated me to keep going to the top.
See, people sometimes help you in all sorts of ways!
So now what?
With best wishes
