Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I wanted to proper challenge, to take place either 20th-22nd July or 27th-29th July, in return for your valued sponsorship.

Please feel free to wait until I have attempted/succeeded in my attempt before donating, I won't take offence. However if you intend to sponsor me on those terms could you please e-mail C2C500K2012@hotmail.co.uk to let me know the value of your sponsorship, that way I can keep track of my potential fundraising total.

Unfortunately I think that the majority of us will have either a family member or close friend that has been affected by cancer, some will win the battle, some may still be engaged in the battle and sadly others will lose the battle. Let's do a little bit to try and increase the chances of those currently engaged in the battle, and those that will have to fight it in the future.

This year I've set myself, what I consider, to be a proper challenge. 500K, in old money 300 miles, from Stranraer, Scotland (why not..?) to Scarborough, over 'relaxing' 3 days. Honourable mentions to Father Smith and The Sainted Louise for their roles in support, transport and encouragement as I contort.

Hopefully my ride will be seen as enough of an effort that you may want to spread the word to your friends and possibly generate more sponsorship via people I cannot reach directly.
