My story

 

Thank you for visiting the online fundraising page for the Peak to Peak™,  mountaineering and cycling expedition.

In the middle of April 2007 I shall be leaving my employment to pursue a huge solo mountaineering/cycling expedition with the intention to raise funds for Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity I am particularly fond of since the loss of both parents over the past 4 years to cancer.

Conceived originally as my second attempt at Mt McKinley, Peak to Peak™ has grown into a Herculean expedition to climb the highest summits of North, Central and South America linking each mountain by bicycle. To add further media interest and therefore greater scope to raise more charitable sponsorship, I am extending the cycling aspect by 3,500 miles to incorporate the whole length of the Pan America highway, which at over 15,000miles, is the longest road in the world.

My financial target for Macmillan is £77,006 which equates to £1 for every foot of ascent and every mile cycled. The breakdown being…..

McKinley                        20,320ft

Tajamulco                     13,845ft

Aconcagua                     22,841ft

Cycling              up to     20,000miles

Total                             77,006 

Please visit my website www.peaktopeak.co.uk to find out more.            

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Support 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.

Please help me realise the primary objective of Peak to Peak™, to help make a difference to the 1 in 3 people affected by cancer, by making a donation, no matter how small.

Many thanks for your support.
