  • To raise money for Rethink Mental Illness, I'm cycling 1150km in 7 days whilst working full time because in the UK according to the office of national statistics 150 people a week die due to suicide. I enjoyed this ride and it was great to do an Audax again, massive thank you to the organisers and volunteers.
    The next video will be my final 215km Saturday ride.

    Amy you are incredible. It’s hard for me to fathom your eating disorder as it is to understand my daughter who suffers from insecurity and low self esteem, she’s amazingly beautiful, tall and athletic but still she thinks she’s not! The fact is you’re both amazing and this should be the best time of your life. I hope you both find peace with yourselves 🥇💥👍

      I feel for young girls and the pressure they are under to be perfect. I hope your daughter sees herself for what she really is. With your support I am sure that will happen.

      Yes, sir, it's hard to understand, but we need to realise it's in their heads.

    Your honesty about your difficulties takes as much courage to talk about, as it did to face them. You are so much more than you will ever know. Not to mention really quite funny. Well done.

    I have been very fortunate to work with ex-military co workers who were and have struggled with mental health. They are some of the best people I have ever met. One suicide is one too many. Thank you Amy for highlighting this issue.

    Phenominal ride. Strava shows avge speed of 16.0. In that weather and part darkness, that's impressive, especially after the heroic effort all week. Well done.

    It's heartbreakingly tragic that so many people feel that they have no other way out of their problems. But the passage of time diminishes all of them to at least make them bearable. Its a very noble thing you have done
