Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Along with 4 other people (aged between 25 and 35) I am cycling from John O 'Groats to Lands End to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. My son's partner's best friend lost her life to this illness last year at the age of 27 and I was asked to join the group to help support the charity. We will set out from Scotland on 4th August and will reach Lands End 15 days later on the18th.
Jenny bought me my bike for my birthday 2 years ago and although the money raised will go to Cystic Fibrosis I personally shall also be riding in her memory. Prior to training for this mammoth event I have mainly cycled 1 mile round trip to the Post Office to get a paper (if it wasn't raining), the training is hard and the ride will be tough for an old fella like me.
The money we raise will help support over 8,500 children and adults in the UK suffering from Cistic Fibrosis, going towards essential research and into the best treatment for those living with CF. Most importantly, the most recent developments in gene therapy and research into an eventual cure can only take place if people give generously to the trust. Your donations are so important, however little.
So please dig deep and donate now.
