Story

In 2020 my Team helped me to cycle the North Coast 500.  In September 2021 they helped two of us across the high cols of the Pyrenees and in 2022 three of us cycled unsupported for seven days in the hills and valleys of Wales. In total we have raised nearly £75,000 which will have given many UK Veterans essential treatment for the pernicious condition of PTSD, thereby also helping families, friends and colleagues.  The website, ptsdresolution.org explains much and is well worth a visit.   

Our Plan for 2023 is to start from the remote Scottish station of Forsinard, 50km south of Thurso on June 18th and to travel by bike and ferry to the very north tip of the Shetlands aiming to get to 'The Northernmost Point on the Longest day' and then cycle all the way back to where we started. We plan to do this in seven days covering a distance of 751km using ten ferries.  All expedition costs will be met privately by the Team so all funds raised here will go straight to where they are needed,

Thank you
