Story

Please sponsor us today!

Hi Everyone!

Thank you so much for your interest in sponsoring the 'Long Way Up!' - raising awareness and money for Cancer Research UK and the Acorns Children's Hospice Trust.  In August we will be riding from Matlock Bath to Land's End, up to John O'Groats and back to Matlock Bath.  We'll be taking the 'Long Way Up!' by stopping off to climb the 3 highest mountains in England, Scotland and Wales.  We'll be travelling over 2,500 miles and climbing 11,000 ft of mountains (over one third the height of Mt Everest!) as well as fundraising and meeting people throughout our journey.  We'll also be carrying everything we need, including ourselves, on a single motorbike!

Please sponsor us.  Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure.  It is also a very efficient way to sponsor us as the Acorns Childrens' Hospice Trust will receive your money faster and if you are a UK taxpayer an extra 28% will be added to your donation through Gift Aid at no extra cost to you!

It soon mounts up!  If we raise an average of £1 per mile that will generate £2,000 in sponsorship.  £5 per mile will be £10,000 and £10 per mile will be £20,000!  Please give as much or as little as you can - every penny counts and you'll be making a very big difference to a lot of people's lives.

Make a dedication - you can leave us a message here or dedicate our challenge to someone you know.  Please visit our website www.longwayup.org and go to our 'Message Board and Dedications' page.

This page is for donations to the Acorns Childrens Hospice Trust.  If you would like to donate specifically to Cancer Research UK, please visit our other sponsorship page www.justgiving.com/longwayup-cancerresearch

If you want your donation to be split equally between the two charities you can use PayPal www.paypal.com (our account email is longwayup@hotmail.co.uk).  Alternatively you can make a bank transfer or send us a cheque.  Full details are on our website 'Sponsor Us' page.

Thanks for looking, please sponsor us!
