Over the weekend of September 22/23, around 50 friends and colleagues will be attempting to cross the UK from the west to east coast (Whitehaven to Tynemouth) by bicycle in 24 hours in order to raise funds for the Multiple Sclerosis Society.   

This page has been set up to allow individuals to sponsor the team as a whole rather than individuals.

The coast to coast or sea to sea cycle route (C2C) is Britain's most popular long-distance cycle route and is based on minor roads, disused railway lines, off-road tracks and specially constructed cycle paths. It crosses the Lake District and the Pennines in the north of England.

At 140 miles long, the route is designed for the whole range of cyclists, from families to cycle club riders. Off-road sections have an alternative surfaced track. Although a challenge with some hard climbs - the highest point being over 2000 feet - the C2C has an average of between 12,000 and 15,000 cyclists completing the route every year.  It is typically completed in 3-5 days, but our challenge is to complete the route in 24 hours over 2 days!!

Further details of the challenge can be found at the challenge website: www.memorialchallenge.org.uk

Please dig deep and sponsor us online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: MS Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your support.
