Story
<p>I have decided to embark on a small motorcycle adventure from Lands End to John o Groats towards the end of July 2011 with a good friend to raise money for charity, my choice being the St Michaels Hospice, Basingstoke. As a maintenance engineer I've witnessed first hand the great work carried out by the Hospice and know how much the additional money would be appreciated by both the staff and patients.</p>
<p>Also riding for a great cause is Chris Lacey and Dean Broadbent.</p>
<p>We are aiming to where possible avoid motorways and take the more 'scenic' route!</p>
<p>While I appreciate money is tight for everyone at this moment in time, please dig deep and donate as little or as much as you can afford.</p>
<p>Money raised could contribute towards the following:</p>
