Milan to Monaco - It's finally here!
It’s finally almost here. On Wednesday I fly to Milan and it begins.Training has been a blast. I have cycled some amazing routes, enjoyed beautiful countryside, met wonderful people, felt elation and also some doubt, but never felt like giving up the journey.
Fundraising so far....
Thank you all so much for your donations, kind words of encouragement and for showing such a huge interest. I am delighted to tell you that this morning I hit my personal target of £5,000 but as a team we are still £200,000 short of our goal so if you haven’t already donated or wish to do so again, please don’t be bashful. Every penny counts and your contribution will go a long way to helping two incredible charities – Resources for Autism & The Miles Frost Fund in partnership with the British Heart Foundation 
There are though also a few people in particular that I want to thank.Pauw Steyl - If you are planning on getting on a bike, you need to train with this man. A genuine passion for this sport and a solid enthusiasm to see you do your best, this guy has been such a gem during this journey.Michael James Wong – Thank you Michael for the mindful moments and for helping me open the doors to step into less, and giving me the encouragement and tools to know how to just breathe when the mental and physical challenges of training might have otherwise got the better of me.Thanks also to Michael for his photography and producing these amazing images for my posts.Jerusha, my wife, who has been there every step of the way, to support, encourage and tolerate me getting up at 5am every weekend. And also for getting the money in and helping me burst through my target 1 week ahead of time.The team at Long Story Short for working with Jerusha Shulberg to create my posts and for sharing my news with you over the last 2 months.The team at Cubex, Camilla, Saima, Monaet, Madison……..thank you also for everything you do and for manning the ship whilst I am away. You have all been amazing! 
Please stay in touch by following my ride via @cubex_london which I plan to update on a regular basis.
Autism is a life-long condition that affects the way a person perceives and relates to the world.There is no cure for autism but there are many things that can make those with a diagnosis have a better and happier life. Autism is often known as ASC (autism spectrum condition) or ASD (autism spectrum disorder).Everyone with autism is different and autism affects people to widely varying degrees and in many different ways, which is why it is described as a spectrum. Some people with autism may also have other associated conditions such as a learning difficulty, ADHD or mental health problems.Very many people with autism also have sensory problems. These may be being particularly sensitive to certain kinds of light, sound, smell, taste or touch. They may also need to experience sensory input in ways that other people may find unusual such as liking very strong pressure or hating high musical notes.All of these can make the world a very difficult place but with understanding, patience and sometimes with proper resources and advice things can be made easier.Resources for Autism provide practical services for children and adults with an autistic condition and for those who love and care for them. They offer ‘little and local’ services including specialist play and youth clubs, holiday play schemes, adult social and interest groups, arts therapies and home based support. Currently working with approximately 2,000 people in this, their 21st birthday year, they hope to raise enough money to increase support for 100 new young adults, in addition to maintaining and growing what they offer now.

Miles Frost was the son of Sir David Frost, OBE. He died suddenly of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) in July 2015. Young, fit and in the prime of his life, Miles was just 31.Miles’ death devastated his family and friends. And it was made all the more painful when they were told Miles probably inherited the condition from his father, Sir David Frost. Clinical and genetic tests are available to identify those at risk of HCM, but unfortunately Miles was never tested.In Miles’ memory, the Frost family have set up the Miles Frost Fund to raise money for the British Heart Foundation to stop more people going through the pain of losing a loved one to deadly heart conditions like HCM.The Miles Frost Fund aims to raise £1.5 million to help make genetic testing available to all families affected by the heart condition. Please show your support and donate.
