THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR WONDERFUL SUPPORT.  The whole experience was epic and one we will never forget for the rest of our lives.  Steve was truly inspirational and we are all so proud of every single 1001 miles that he covered.

Just because we have reached our target doesn't mean you can't still donate so if you can donate - fantastic, it will all be put to good use in helping UKAMB support hospitals in setting up more Milk Banks.


We have a client who has set us up so we can put regular updates online to show where we are and how we are doing so please follow this link check out the map and daily dairy entries.

TRAINING UPDATES 7 July: My wife has finally mapped out the route for the ride over a 10 day period.  We will post it here with a hope that some of you may be able to cheer us on to the finish should you be nearby.  We set off on the 31 July making our way up to Scotland and will start on Monday 2nd August 2010 from John O'Groats.

Training has been hard to fit in with the business but we are getting there, Paul Harvey my training buddy is hoping to join us maybe from half way so I wont be cycling all by myself!  Keep coming back to the site as we will update this page regularly.

TRAINING UPDATES: Cycled the London to Brighton and thought it would be good training to cycle back, unfortunately on the way back Steve made a slight detour and ended up having a round trip of approx. 130 miles.  This weekend sees Steve cycling from Esher to Hove 60 miles, then he's racing back for the kids school summer fair and the football.

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page.

It's all in aid of Breast Milk Banking which changes the lives of so many babies and makes a world of difference.  The Milk Bank is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the start of milk banking, which is now the longest continually operating milk bank in the world.

Over this time many precious babies have benefited from the specially collected, tested and heat treated milk that the milk bank provides.  Many hundreds of generous mothers have undergone careful screening and donated precious milk. To highlight this fantastic facility Steve has decided to embark on a wonderous journey by starting at John O'Groats and cycling to Lands End over a period of 10 days hopefully achieving 100 miles per day to raise funds for this amazing charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
