<p><strong>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</strong></p> <p><strong>During May this year my friend and fellow lunatic James Ellis and I, will be cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats on&nbsp; fully-laden bikes, including camping gear, in around 15 days.</strong></p> <p><strong>Depending on how often we get lost, this is a distance of around 1000 miles and it's perhaps the biggest cycling challenge this country has to offer.</strong></p> <p><strong>As well as the "enjoyment" and sense of achievement I hope to gain, I'm aiming to raise &pound;1,000 to aid childrens hospices.</strong></p> <p><strong>Anyone who's ever experienced the relief and support which a hospice provides to families in their darkest hour will appreciate the work that these places do and I can't think of a cause more worthy of support than hospices that care for desperately ill children.</strong></p> <p><strong>We all know that times are hard at present, but imagine how difficult it is for these families to cope with losing a child to illness and dig deep to help them.</strong></p> <p><strong>I'm aiming to have my picture taken as I climb the biggest mountain of the route - probably some desolate part of The Highlands - and I'll send everyone who donates a copy. I'm guessing that the look on my face will&nbsp; prove to you that you got your money's worth!</strong></p> <p><strong>Thanks in anticipation,</strong></p> <p><strong>Mike Mullins.</strong></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
