I'm riding in the Scottish Bikeathon, 26 miles through the Highlands in aid of Leukeamia & Lymphoma Research. I'm doing it with the widow of my friend Piet Ketelaar, in his memory.
I've raised £255 in four days. My target is £1,000 by the day of the ride, June 19th.
If any blogmates out there are prepared to sponsor me, I'd be hugely grateful. You can make a payment online at justgiving.com/leighforbes.
It's not part of the event, but I'm also planning to climb Cairn Toul, the UK's 4th highest mountain, the day before the bikeathon... It's going to be a gruelling (but ace) weekend!
About Me
- Leigh Forbes
I'm a Costa-swilling, chocolate-scoffing writer of contemporary women's fiction, whose dream is to get through a whole meal without having to write stuff down.
I am also a walker and climber of Scottish mountains, a lover of fresh air, big skies and days when I don't get wet.
I have Asperger's syndrome too, which is less fun.

Goodness, what a feat, and good for you! I'd no more get a bike out than I would a ukelele but your cause is good. Good luck with it.
Thank you, Milla. My bike-riding's not great, but it's better than my ukelele playing! They'd pay me not to do that, I'm sure!
