Thanks for taking the time to visit one of the two JustGiving pages for our bike ride from John O'Groats to Ipswich. Please, if you're feeling generous - and we hope that you are! - visit our other page and donate there too, as remember we're doing this for 2 charities rather than just the one. Our other page is here: http://www.justgiving.com/bike4pete-bcrt
A little bit of the story as to why we're doing this. A dear friend of ours, Pete Adams, lost his long battle with cancer last year. He leaves a huge gap in the lives of so many. More of his story can be found here: http://www.bike4pete.com. So, with this in mind, in his memory 6 of his friends are going to do a cycle ride from John O'Groats to Ipswich in April 2011. The paticipants are Gordon Taylor, Dave Maddox, Ant Birt, Rob Glassford, Scott Leslie and Martin Dowling.
