We are a group of school mates from Newport Shropshire and each year we set ourselves a challenge to raise money for charity and have an excuse to get together. This year we are cycling from the west coast to the east coast of England covering 140 miles from Whitehaven to Tynemouth. It will take us 3 days and we will be climbing peaks in the Lake District of over 600 metres which will provide the challenge we are looking for!

We have a number of relatives that have diabetes, each have different symptoms and varying inpact on their lives. It is a cause close to our heart so donating a small amount will go a long way for research and help for diabetes sufferers across the UK. Team members:-

- Mark Lindsay

- Paul Sewell

- David Scott Gallagher

- Dave Bell

- Ian Duggan

- Simon Lewis

- Christian Gallagher

Ray Benbow and John Sewell have kindly agreed to transport our tents betwen campsites to reduce the weight we will be carrying up thise hills.
