As a lazy 34-year-old with more injuries than athletic achievements, I took on a 7-day charity bike ride that would make most professional cyclists’ eyes water. It came as no surprise to anyone that the volume of training broke my body from neck to knee.

In the lead-up to the event, Gill was simply inspirational. Her knowledge and treatment was exemplary and only second to the kindness and support she gave me. She doesn’t have the word ‘no’ in her vocabulary, she encouraged me at all the right times and filled me with complete confidence that I’d complete the challenge. Gill won’t sing her own praises, so I’m happy to. Thank you for everything. Get ready for next year when we do it all again!
