Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for the RNIB.

Last Christmas I agreed to cycle from Lands end to John O'Groats with my dad and brothers; the moment is now upon us. From the 25th August to 9th September we will ride the length of the UK - 1,186 miles - in 14 days .

We have been in training for the last 5 months to complete this challenge, where we will be riding 85 miles a day every day (try it, it hurts) to raise money for the RNIB. The charity is close to our hearts following my mothers diagnosis with Age Related Macular degeneration which can lead to blind spots and near total blindness within as little as 2 weeks.

ARMD affects 20% of those aged between 65-75 and currently has no cure. This has had a profound impact on my mother who is a keen artist, and has devoted her working life to helping others through Art Therapy. With the research and support of the RNIB we hope she will be able to continue for many years to come.

So please donate what you can and help support us.

A penny a mile would be fantastic a pound a mile would be insane! Follow the Blog http://lepratt-lejog.travellerspoint.com/ or my Twitter feed (@willpratt) for updates and pictures.

Thank you!
