My story

Hey everyone! I'm going to cycle from Perth to Sydney. Honestly! It's over 4000km and will take weeks and weeks of hard pedaling. I'll be cycling with a mate from university (Andy 'the rage' Parker) but we won't have any support - all our gear will be carried on the bikes in panniers and we'll spend many a night camped with the snakes and spiders of southern Oz. I hope to raise some much-needed money for a great charity that does wonders for people in and around my home town of Corby, Lakelands Hospice (for more info: http://www.lakelandshospice.org.uk/). Any amount is welcome and will go a long way to improving people's lives (as well as keeping my spirits up), so dig deep people! John
