Lands End to John O'Groats on a Unicycle · 3 August 2010

The Ear Foundation helped fund the first cochlear implants for deaf children in the UK. We now support children, young people & adults who use a variety of modern hearing technologies. Offering independent advice & activites to bridge the gap between clinics where they're fitted and home where used.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I know that you are all probably bored of people asking you give money or join groups so sorry but I hope you have a couple of minutes just to read the rest of this. Sadly I won't be on the unicycle. Sorry! It will be Cosmo Studholme a close friend of mine and an absolute nut. I laughed the first time I heard as I didn't believe it possible! I was wrong.... Turns out he's pretty good on the old unicycle and also turns out you can get it modified so its up to challenges like ours. I will be riding on a normal bike along side just to keep him company and keep him going. We start on the 3rd August hopefully and we want to do 70 miles a day. He is raising money for the Mood Foundation and I will be doing it for the Ear Foundation who enable my older brother to hear almost normally. Without them he would be completely deaf and so you can work out the enormous impact they have had on his and my family's lives. I know that in this current economic climate giving money to a couple of teenagers to go on a bike ride isn't top of the list and the last thing you want is someone telling you to 'dig deep' for charity as you seem to be constantly 'digging deep' and you're starting to wonder how much deeper you can dig, but any donation however small would be very much appreciated. Please send this page on to any friends or family. Thank you again and I'll let you know how we do.
