My story

 

Please, please, please sponsor us as we'll be cycling unsupported from Lands End to John O'Groats in October. We'll be cycling about 950 miles (plus many more getting lost!) over 11 days . Being Britain this is bound to involve heavy rain and winds and perhaps even a smattering of snow in bonnie Scotland. We're determined to climb the cornish hills, ride the Welsh valleys and then sneak through Scotland without a deep fried mars bar going anywhere near us.

We're raising money for the Blood Pressure Association- the UK Charity for people with high blood pressure. High blood pressure is the biggest cause of death and disability in the UK through the strokes and heart attacks it causes. Every day 250 people have a stroke or heart attack that could be avoided if there blood pressure was under control. I work for the charity and see first hand how the difference the charity makes to people on a daily basis.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
