Now feeling the pain! &nbsp; Adam</p> <p>-------------------------------------------------------</p> <p>Dear all,</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you for visiting our fund raising page!</p> <p>Last year Dr Russell Cherry, one of Adam and Sanjay's colleagues, was sadly diagnosed with a brain tumour. He has had to finish working as a doctor, and is currently having treatment. We are raising money for Brain Tumour UK, the UK's leading brain tumour charity, so that more valuable research can be done for people like Russell.&nbsp;</p> <p>To do this, we are going to cycle from Land's End to John O'Groats, which is just over 900 miles. This is a popular challenge, however most people do it over at least two weeks. To make sure we earn out sponsorship, we have chosen to try the ride in 9 days - we will have to cycle an average of 100 miles every day, for 9 days in a row!</p> <p>Please dig deep and sponsor us as much as you can!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you so much,&nbsp;</p> <p>Adam, Tom, Roel, Pete, Sanjay</p>
