Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. In May 2007 my grandmother passed away. She suffered horribly from dementia and it was a terrible thing to witness. My grandmother was a wonderful person and the best possible grandmother a grandson could wish for. I thought it would be, in some small way, a fitting tribute to her to raise some money and awareness for the Alzheimer's Society's cause. On October 12th 2007, therefore, I will be setting out for John o'Groats and on October the 13th I will start a 15 day solo cycle ride to Land's End (with only one day off in the middle). The total distance will be around 950 miles (that's if I don't get lost) which is about 70 miles a day. Training has already started and I already know I'll be in for a tough time!!! So, please dig deep and sponsor me online. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Alzheimer's Society will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. So please sponsor me now! Many thanks for your support. It really is appreciated. Simon Collins
