<p>When my eldest son Daniel was first born he was very ill, and spent 5 days in the intensive care unit at Homerton Hospital in East London. They cared for him brilliantly and he is fine, but I wanted to raise some money for the hospital to say thank you.&nbsp;</p> <p>So my brother-in-law Simon and I are <strong>cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats</strong> between 23 July and - oooh, somewhere around 4-6 August. We will be covering around 1000 miles, 80-100 miles a day: 6-7 hours in the saddle every day. We will be climbing over <strong>10 vertical kilometers</strong> over the distance, and doing so unsupported, ie carrying all our luggage with us.&nbsp;</p> <p>You can donate on this page, or&nbsp;<strong>to donate by mobile&nbsp;</strong>and barely feel the pain at all, simply text 70070 with the code PHIL74 &pound;[amount] - for example text 70070 with PHIL 74 &pound;10 to donate 10 Big Ones to the cause.&nbsp;</p> <p> <p><a title="Simon is raising money for Eden Valley Hospice" href="http://www.justgiving.com/SimonLittle10">Simon is raising money for Eden Valley Hospice</a>&nbsp;- anything you can contribute to either of these very worthy causes would be really appreciated.&nbsp;</p> <div>Thanks very much for anything you can give - if you want to and are that sort of person, you can <a title="keep up with our progress on my twitter feed" href="http://twitter.com/#!/Fallbacks">keep up with our progress on my twitter feed</a>.&nbsp;</div> </p> <p><strong><br /></strong></p> <p>Phil</p>
