London-Edinburgh-London runs every couple of years.  Riders have over 1400km (868 miles) to complete within a time limit of 116 hours.  The event runs from 28th July to 2nd August.

It's a very challenging event, and will mean significant training in the 6 months or so leading up to it.  You can read about it on my blog which I'll be updating frequently.

KidsCan is a small charity I came across on one of their cycling events, and I was impressed immediatly.  Here's some information about them  

1 in 500 children will be diagnosed with cancer in the UK this year.

Tragically, 30% of these children will not survive. Through groundbreaking research, KidsCan is striving to reduce that figure but your continued support is vital.

Who we are

KidsCan Children’s Cancer Research Centre was established in late 2002 to specifically support research into new and improved treatments for children with cancer. Our scientists are looking for treatments which are less damaging to the bodies of children and young adults. They aim to reduce both short and long term side effects whilst retaining the effectiveness of many current treatments.


The work carried out within the KidsCan laboratories covers a range of activities from basic research into new treatments, through to applied research focused on improving the outcome of therapies currently used in the treatment of children with cancer.

Our aims are simple:
• To cure more children with cancer. 
• To improve the treatment of children with cancer. 
• To develop new treatments for childhood cancer. 
• To be a source of information about childhood cancer.

How we are funded

We receive no statutory funding. We rely entirely on contributions from the public, volunteers, businesses and funds generated through KidsCan events for our groundbreaking research to continue.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

You can also donate £10 by texting LELA67 to 70070

Times are tough at the moment but anything you can donate will be fantastic - even if it's only a pound.  Thanks for your support.
