Hello and welcome,

In the October half term (27th - 31st), myself and my brother Ben will be doing a bike ride from coast-to-coast to raise funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.  The route we will be taking is the 'Whitehave to Sunderland' trail, which stretches for 160 miles across hills, mountains and parts of Teesside.

We're aiming to cover 50 miles per day and will be sleeping in a tent at various points along the way.  Upon eventually reaching Sunderland, we'll be hoping to avoid being robbed on the way to a pub to celebrate finishing the task with a few chilled beverages, so if you can make that it would be a great way to end the challenge.

Registration and donation takes less than 2 minutes, and through Justgiving it is totally secure.  It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us as the Cystic Fibrosis Trust gets your money directly and if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

If you could pass the link on to your friends and your work colleagues, it would be much appreciated.

Daniel and Ben
