Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Matthew Tomlinson and Richie Bridges are training to complete the END 2 END challenge in May 2010. This will involve cyclng a minimum of 874 miles from John O'Groats to Lands Ends. Most groups complete the challenge over 10 days, however Matt and Richie are planning to finish within 4 days maintaining an average of 14 hours cycling per day!
My backgound: I used to be a county sprinter for Bournemouth Athletics Club when I was younger, then just attended the gym everyday to maintain fitness levels. I decided 3 years ago to take up extreme fitness challenges, as I needed that physical & mental challenge and since then, I have achieved the following: Walking around the costal path of the Isle of Wight, 72 Miles in 2.5 days, the three peaks and recently I did my first Ultra Marathon, which consisted of 32 miles from Weymouth to swanage along the coastal path. I have done a few half marathons since then and have the Paris Marathon in April 2010. My most memorable event was the Great South Run 2009, running for CHILDREN with LEUKAEMIA. It was a fantastic day and I managed to raise £300 towards the charity out of the 200 people running for them.
So with my background in mind, I thought this END 2 END challenge would be a great opportunity to give something back to a very close friend and his suffering daughter, Mollie.
Please kindly dig deep into your pockets for this worth while charity.
Kind regards
Matthew
