80th Birthday L2B Celebration

If you're fortunate enough to be in working condition on your 80th Birthday, that is reason enough to celebrate, but I decided to add another dimension by contributing to a charity fund raising event.
My choice is the London to Brighton cycle ride on 15th June and my chosen charity is Debra. I was introduced to Debra through an appeal made by the well known football manager, Graeme Souness on a breakfast TV channel. It made such an impact on me that I felt I had to get involved. 
Debra supports people who live with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB for short). It is a rare inherited genetic condition that causes skin and mucous membranes to  become fragile and blister simply from minor injuries like heat, rubbing or scratches. The blisters are large, incredibly painful and can be fatal. Children with EB are known as "Butterfly Children" because their skin is as delicate as a butterfly wing.
Debra is a UK national charity dedicated to supporting people living with EB and plays a pivotal roll  in the EB medical research programme. They are committed to making sure that every person living with EB in the UK , their families and carers receive the vital and wide- ranging support they need.
Thank you for reading this and I sincerely hope you will feel able to make a contribution towards Debra. As they say - every penny counts and every penny will be spent wisely!
Not having ridden a bicycle for 50 years, I have a lot of catching up to do and I'm sticking to a daily training programme to make sure I succeed with the challenge!
