Story

Thank you for visiting our fundraising page.

We are cycling from Lands End to John O'Groats in 9 days during May 2009. The ride is approximately 1000 miles! You can keep up to date with our progress at www.lejogers09.blogspot.com

We are raising money for the Edinburgh Headway Group, a charity dedicated to supporting people who have suffered traumatic head injuries and certain other forms of acquired brain injury together with their families and carers. Edinburgh Headway Group are based at the Astley Ainslie Hospital, Canaan Lane, Edinburgh.

Robin, a volunteer with the charity, has seen at first hand the impact that brain injury has on peoples' lives and witnessed the support that the Edinburgh Headway Group provides.
