Pippa Middleton

Pippa Middleton is selling her bicycle for charity.

The 30-year-old socialite - the sister of Britain's Duchess Catherine - is auctioning her Race Across America Dassi 6.2 Aero road bike on eBay to raise money for the British Heart Foundation (BHF).

The brunette beauty and her team of eight completed the Race Across America, a 3,020-mile coast-to-coast journey, in June in the hope of raising funds for the BHF and the Michael Matthews Foundation.

The auction began last Sunday (03.08.14) and will end on Wednesday 13, with the proceeds being split between the two charities, along with the £20,000 Pippa has already raised as part of the challenge.

She said in a statement: "The challenge of riding across the Rockies, coping with the heat of the Arizona desert and climbing over 170, 000 vertical feet in the six days was incredibly tough, but every inch of the 3,000 mile race was worth it, to help the BHF fight heart disease.

"I wanted to complete this challenge to help raise awareness of the importance of heart health after learning that coronary heart disease kills nearly three times more women than breast cancer.

"So whether you're inspired to get fit or you're a cycling fanatic wanting to add to your bike collection, take a look at my bike and put in a bid. I'm keen to raise as much money as possible to help the BHF fund life-saving heart research."
