Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Once again, after the flooding thwarted last year's attempt, I'll be challenging myself again and hopefully raise money for a charity close to my heart, Cancer Research UK.

Although I set this up in memory of my dad, it's to help raise money to fight a disease that has affected everyone in one way or another, so any donation is very much appreciated.

Three years after the nine month fundraising stint that raised almost £4,500 following the FA Cup from start to finish, I'm challenging myself to something a little more physical.

In early July I will be joined by Sarah's brother Pads, Sarah's cousin Ian our neighbour Neil, to ride the C2C from Whitehaven to Tynemouth.

Learning from last year and the flooding, we hope to complete the 140 or so miles in four days, staying in Troutbeck, Renwick and Rookhope during the ride either side of a night in our start point, Whitehaven, and finish in Newcastle.

To keep up to date with the ride, follow my blog www.ridethec2c.blogspot.com
