Where we are so far!
This is an update of where we are. We managed to finish the ride on time and within our target, some very long days in the saddle to acheive this aim but it was all worth it, not to many injuries just a few numb toes and fingers and some sore muscles. A big thank you to Luke who was a massive help and we wouldn't have done it without him, thanks to the other boys who rode we had a good laugh at some tough times. A big thankyou to everyone who has helped to achieve this task and to all of you who have donated it is appreciated by all of us and The Red Sock Campaign.
From the 25th June through to the 2nd July, three friends and I, Michael Maunder, Craig Stockdale and Stuart Cowan are taking on the task of riding bicycles from Lands End to John o’Groats.
My father has been diagnosed with prostate cancer and until recently I was unaware that it is the biggest male cancer killer in the . As a consequence of this we have decided to try to raise money and awareness of this particular cancer and charity by cycling for the redsock campaign. Please see their website at www.theredsock.co.uk
We are currently approaching many companies for sponsorship and also items for auction, so if you can help in anyway please feel free to contact me on davmccal@aol.com
