I’m a spider biologist working at the university – I work mainly on how genetic changes allow adaptations to particular environments and what this means for the future – for us as well as for them. www.arachnotts.com has some info posted by my group
Favourite Animal: Cat
Favourite Colour: Blue
Favourite Film: Mamma Mia (it’s in my genes – half of me is Swedish)
The challenge is a very personal one. I’m not an experienced cyclist and I’m not someone who ever thought they could do something like this, but the cause is what makes the difference. I lost someone close to me and I know the difference that it makes to be supported by people who truly understand, and who walk with each of you to the end.
It will be a huge physical challenge to do this End 2 End but the friendships that develop along the way when you do things like this last a lifetime.
