Welcome

Hi! Welcome to my new blog. For new visitors, it's great to meet you. For those who have been hanging out with me for a while, welcome to my new premises!

So, what's Kill the Dragon all about? In essence, it's about making a difference. The ways in which that happens are still to be refined (and excuse the mess whilst I swap around the furniture!), but I'd like this to be a blog about hope and inspiration. It is possible to make a difference when you put your mind to it and this blog is here to report on the things people are doing, whether it is me personally or other stories I share.

In time, this page may be used to coordinate groups of people who are trying to achieve something but need a little help to get there. It may be about raising money in different ways or drawing attention to causes close to my heart.

There was once a little boy on a beach covered in starfish. As an older man watched, the little boy threw the starfish, one by one back into the sea.
"What are you doing?" enquired the man.
"Making a difference" replied the boy.
"But there are too many starfish here to get them all back into the sea. You will never make a difference"
The boy picked up another starfish and threw it back into the sea. "I have just made a difference".

For those that don't know, I have just cycled from Cambridge to Paris for Bliss. So, what's next? Well my goals are as follows:
Short term - To spend more time with the family whilst maintaining a good level of fitness
Medium term - The occasional challenge to keep the endorphins happy
Long term - I will cycle from Land's End to John O-Groats before I'm 40

There. I've said it. Now I've got to do it.
