London - Norwich - London cycle for CALM

Apologies for begging message....

Further to me asking for a route to Norwich from London, I'm planning to ride Saturday morning and then the return journey on Monday. My primary motivation is that I enjoy cycling and that it would be a nice personal achievement to tick off, as well as getting to escape London and catch up with some friends and my family.

Speaking to a friend about my plans he referred to it as, "mental", and "crazy", which got me thinking about the stigma / taboo of mental health.

At the fringe I went to a performance, fake it til you make it, on the subject of clinical depression in men which happens to be the biggest killer of men under 50. If you're interested, there is a good article here :

Cutting the begging message short, the performance really moved me and an issue that will affect us all in some way or another. To that end I'm trying to raise a few quid for a wonderful charity CALM (campaign against living miserably). My target is ?239, a ? for each mile I'll be aiming to ride this weekend. If anyone would like to sponsor me on my mental challenge I'd be very grateful.
