<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">We are Peter and Colin Lewis and Ken Dobson - three friends of Cherished Memories getting on our bikes on 1<sup>st</sup> September 2011 to help support the charity.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We plan to cycle somewhere around 1,000 miles from Lands End to John O’Groats (LEJOG) over a period of 3 weeks, carrying our luggage with us.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We will average about 50 miles a day, following a route that allows various friends to ride with us for a while on the way.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">As parents ourselves we are keen to ride in support of those families facing difficult times with their children. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Every penny raised will go to Cherished Memories, which stages significant events for life-limited and severely disabled children and their families, providing a DVD as a memento of the day – for more details of the charity’s work see <a href="http://www.cherished-memories.co.uk">www.cherished-memories.co.uk</a> or click the link on the left.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: small;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; font-size: 12pt;">Here we see the three of us with a friend during our 25<sup>th</sup> Anniversary European ride last year.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We all see LEJOG as a challenge, especially the hills of Cornwall and Devon in the early stages!</span></p>
