Thanks for visiting our team fundraising page.
On June 8th, Mike, Jon and Richard Varney, and Guy Armstrong, aka 'Team Pitch' will be cycling nearly 1000 miles from John O'Groats to Lands End in nine days....AND we are CAMPING!
We have selected 2 charities to support; Cancer Research UK and Shooting Star Chase a childrens hospice.

Britain is beautiful but hilly, so this this will be tough! A total of 15000 metres will have to be climbed, apparently the equivalent of cycling up Alpe d'Huez 13 times!
Training is underway...No more Friday night curries and cheeky beers after work! Given that until recently, none of us has cycled 100 miles in one day before training began, let alone doing it 9 days on the trot, we are all somewhat apprehensive!

Please see details of the various charities in the team member pages below. Donations to your preferred charity would be greatly appreciated.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. They'll make sure Gift Aid (an additional 25%) is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer, too. That means more money goes to the charity, faster, with JustGiving.
100% of all donations will go to charity. Please dig deep and donate now.
