My story

 

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

We are three 'normal' lads from Darley Dale, Matlock and we have taken on a massive challenge this August...  We are going to cycle Coast-to-Coast, which is from St Bees right across to Robin Hoods Bay, that is 210 miles (as long as we don't get lost).

We are raising funds for 'The Weston Park Hospital Cancer Appeal', the donated money will be used to help people living with cancer through improving treatment and care for patients.

Please sponsor us, your donations will spur us on over the terrain even when our legs don't want to.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure.  It's also the most efficient way to sponsor us:  The Weston Park Hosptial Cancer Appeal gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Many thanks

Kevin, David and Shaun
