We plan to cycle somewhere between 800 and 1,000 miles from Lands End to John O&rsquo;Groats (LEJOG) over a period of 3 weeks, carrying our luggage with us. 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><span style="color: #1c1c1c; line-height: 140%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 10.5pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;"></span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;"> </span><span style="color: #1c1c1c; line-height: 140%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; font-size: 12pt; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB;">As parents ourselves we are keen to ride in support of those families facing difficult times with their children.
