To celebrate 25 years of wedded bliss  Stephen and I are to cycle from Land's End to John o' Groats in a little over two weeks at the end of July to the beginning of August. We invite you to support us by donating money to two immensely worthwhile cycling-related charities:

Re-cycle-whose mission is to collect secondhand bicycles and ship them to Africa. Not only does it help Africans by offering poor people the best means to improve their lives, giving them opportunities to travel to work and school. It also benefits Britain by providing training in bike mechanics, reducing waste and landfill and giving Youth Offending Teams and brain injury rehabilitation volunteers the opportunity to help out in workshops in a safe and supportive environment. Please donate on this page.

Sustrans - the well-known organisation that is developing the National Cycle route (over 12,000 miles of cyclist- and walker-friendly routes around Britain) as well as initiatives such as Bike-it (encouraging cycling to school), Connect2 (the winner of the People's Millions Lottery contest on ITV1 in December 2007) and many more. You can donate via Stephen's page at

Thanks for taking the time to visit one of our 2 JustGiving pages.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
