Our End to End Challenge

We’re Wendy Creed and Graham ‘Milly’ Marsh and this March we’re going to ride from John O’Groats to Lands End for charity, and we need your support. We’re not spring chickens – in fact we’re both the wrong side of 50, but we are both cycle training instructors. So the event might well be slow, but it will be safe!

We hope to raise a four figure sum for both our chosen charity’s; the RNLI’s Train one, save many appeal to collect funds for the training of their volunteer lifeboat crew, and Patch Adams MD who is building a no-charge hospital in West Virginia.

Our challenge began at John O’Groats on Wednesday 12th March and then we followed a route of around 1,000 miles (that’s allowing for a few wrong turns) to Lands End, which we hope to reach three weeks later on Friday 4 April.

So the mathematicians amongst you will realise that’s around 50 miles a day – not bad for two middle-aged cycle nuts.  Find out more at www.rsct.org.uk/pages/ride_diary.htm

So who are we? Well Wendy is a cycle instructor in Cornwall and is at the moment studying for a Sports Science Access qualification, which will hopefully lead to a degree.

‘Milly’, or Graham to give him his grown up name, is a cycle instructor in and was formerly a psychiatric nurse. He recycles bicycles and also has Crazy Bikes, unusual designs of bike which don’t actually look like they’re rideable! Find out more at www.millypeds.co.uk

So how can you help? Well its simple really – either visit www.patchadams.org and click on the donate button, or follow the instructions to donate to the RNLI here and give us the financial incentive to ride ‘End to End’ successfully.

We thank you, but so to do the volunteer crews of the RNLI lifeboats and the future patients who won’t have to pay to go to hospital in West Virginia.

Cheers, 

Wendy and Milly.
