Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am raising money for ARC Addington Fund The Delloitte Ride Across Britain leaves John O’Groats on the 11th of June and arrives Lands End on the 19th. The total distance covered will be 1000 miles, equating to 110 miles a day for 9 days, and sleeping in tented villages in between. I will also be riding my fathers 45 year old hand built Bob Jackson bicycle, which has just been renovated by Bob Jackson, unlike the rider! My connection with Addington started when I was Managing Director of Prime Molasses (a supplier of molasses to the animal feed trade), since when I have worked closely with the NFU and a number of farmer owned businesses on the development and promotion of biofuels.  Please support this worthy cause, donations however small will go directly to the charity enabling them to support farming families and their businesses through times of crisis.
