Thank you so much for taking the time out to visit my just giving page! Your support is honestly appreciated very much.

As you can see I am planning a well known, ridiculously silly and tough bike ride - the infamous Lands End to John O'Groats cycle... to make it worse I will complete this, albeit with a VERY VERY VERY VERY sore bum (just from the cycling!) in 6 days!

 

I will be kicking off, or peddling off on 6th Sept 2010 from Lands End and arriving in John O'Groat's at the weekend. 

I am under no illusion of how tough this challenge will be, however the record stands at about 46 hours by a supremely fit professional cyclist, therefore my logic works along the lines that I am probably about 4 or 5 days slower than a professional - so get on board!!

The Mental Health Foundation is an excellent cause, in which I, along with my family have been personally touched by and therefore hold very close to my heart. The MHF do absolutely fantastic work around a subject which is often neglected and to have a closer look at the excellent work carried out by the MHF please visit their website:

Despite the difficult nature of the cycle I will complete the trip in a very light hearted manerr: Of course I will do the Scottish leg in a Kilt and Ginger wig! Incorporating different themes for every leg of my trip...I may even tajke a 'Wilson' style Castaway ball for my handle bars so I have someone to chat to!! By donating to the cause via this just giving page you can also be part of the journey by looking out for my training up dates and video diary of the cycle itself.

I have plenty of exciting events planned for fundraising - all of which will be posted on the just giving page, providing details of where, when, who etc etc - these events will range from comedy nights to DJ sets and raffles all in made of the excellent cause.

Times are hard currently, which I am all to aware of as a soon to be out of work graduate!! Therefore any donation you can muster, even the cost of a pint would be a fantastic help and appreciated greatly. Thank you so much again for your support, I cannot express how grateful I am, without it this would not be possible!! :-)
