On 3 July Paul O'Shaughnessy will embark on a 300 mile cycling challenge in aid of RNIB. Paul will be cycling from Portsmouth, where he is serving in the Royal Navy, to his home town of Liverpool in just three days!
Paul is hoping to raise of £1,000 in aid of RNIB following the support his mum has received after losing her sight.
"She lives alone, so things are difficult for her, but the highlight of her day is listening to talking books supplied by RNIB."
Paul will also be taking part in other challenges in order to get himself fit for the main event. These include cycling 70 miles around the Isle of Wight in March, as well as completing 1,163 miles through a combination or running, rowing, swimming and cycling by June.
