Story
Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.
I believe we all know someone that has been impacted by Cancer. Think about it....... I am pretty sure you do! Thankfully many survive, however many more don't and many still live with it. Support for those in need can make such a different at possibly the worst time of their lives.
Personally, I have known friends and colleagues taken away too soon with this dreadful disease. Some far too young, not that age should be a factor. Recently, close family members have battled against it, thankfully successfully. But this disease continues to haunt and never leaves your thoughts. It is at times like this when you realize that we are fortunate enough to have support networks and charities that do such amazing work in helping people during these times.
I have therefore decided to test and torture myself by taking part in a 'fun' bike ride across the length of Britain. From the most Southerly point of Lands End in England, to the most Northerly point at John O'Groats in Scotland (mainland). The route takes in roughly 968 miles or 1558 KM of UK roads. And with so many up's and down's across the terrain, the total hills climbed will be 52,507 feet or over 16,000 meters...that is the equivalent of 1.8x up Everest. The ride is over the course of 9 days, so works out to being about 108 miles a day. This will be around 8 hours cycling (or more) a day!
Giving just a little, can make a huge difference. Thank you for any support you can give.
