Around the Sitting Room in 80 Days
Diana O'Flynn (nee Price Hughes, also affectionately known to some as Dick) would like those who are able to sponsor her to raise money for a great cause.
During lockdown my 98 year old grandmother asked me to purchase her an exercise bike... not an ordinary request, but this is no ordinary grandmother. She was used to daily walks and adventures, and found the change of pace difficult to adjust to.
Those who know her will not be surprised by this, she was always off doing something and usually raising money for charity along the way. This is a woman who finds it difficult to stay still.
At the beginning of April she asked me if there was any way of her doing a sponsored 'bike ride'. So here we are folks, an incredible 98 year old lady would like you to sponsor her as she cycles on the spot! Frankly doing anything close to this at 98 is a feat all by itself and deserves a few pennies.
Her aim is to cycle for at least half an hour every day from 12 April to 30 June; Around the Sitting Room in 80 Days.

Whatever you can give would be amazing; it would really help this great charity and make an incredible woman rather happy indeed.
