My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In August 2010 I will attempt to break the record for cycling from Lands End to John O’Groats and back. The current fastest time was set by Bobby Brown in April 2000 at 6 days 20 hours. While one-way rides are quite common, the round trip is not often attempted as it is a significant endurance feat.  In return for me punishing my body in this way, I should be really pleased if you would consider sending some money to Cardiac Risk in the Young via this website.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
