My story

 

You are proper, proper awesome and lovely for clicking this far.

Hopefully you've just read our facebook page, and already know that the two of us are putting our easily bruised buttock skin on the line, in the name of a good cause.

We're cycling from Lands End to John O Groats, getting soaked to the bone, freezing vital parts, wobbling in the backdraft of lorries, sharing a tent for over two weeks AND eating food from the Little Chef, so that you guys might give a little summinsummint to the Red Cross (inspired by a desire to contribute towards aid for the crisis in Darfur, links on the Facebook page, which we'd love you to read if you get a chance, and write to your MP.... too much?). 

You don't have to go all billy big bucks, anything is an added aceness.

Please donate. We know you're nice people already, this will just let a hell of a lot of people feel some of that niceness.
