I did my bit for charity today as I took part in the London to Brighton Bike Ride completing the 54 mile route in just under 4 hours. I’ll update this post later with exactly how much I raised for the British Heart Foundation.
Whilst I may only blog about my adventures as I seek to become a millionaire, I also believe doing your bit for charity is important which is why this morning I joined thousands of people around the country running for Sport Relief.
Having done the mile last time out I thought I had better move up to 3 miles this year which I successfully completed in the rain earlier today. If you don’t know what Sport Relief is about then head over to their website to find out why it makes such a difference.
The total amount raised this year looks like it will be over £20m, which includes a single donation of £5.5m from a mystery donor during the live TV show on Friday.
