The journey will start at St Bees Head  on 15th March finishing at Robin Hood Bay 27th March. Tom is 42 years old and has Cystic Fibrosis, to complete this is an achievement for him. The Bike Ride will take 11-12 days covering 234 miles.

Please sponsor him generously

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor Him: Cystic Fibrosis Trust will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Hi All

Just to let you know that I've completed my epic journey, a final total of
250 miles.  A gruelling experience, cold windy and bitter cold.

Lost weight, looking forward to the home cooking to fill me out again.
Nothing beats home comforts!
