We are setting off to ride the North Coast 500 to raise money for the Nora Docherty Foundation in Malawi. Myself and John, an old army friend, will be taking on all the hills and battling through what looks to be some interesting weather. On day one we have a 9km hill with three sections at a 20% incline! Known to be the toughest hill to cycle in the UK! We both love cycling but this will be the toughest challenge we have yet to face. So wish us luck.

We will be completing the 500 miles over 6 days, and we will be sure to keep you updated with our progress along the way.

Linda and Pippi have been to visit this fantastic charity and seen the amazing work they do. We want to continue to support their efforts and all the brilliant work that they do.

We know that there are lots of charities to support but we will be pushing ourselves to the limit and appreciate any money you can donate. Thank you !
