My story

 

We have now completed our 960 mile trip from Lands End to John O Groats and would like to thank everyone for all their support from those who have made donations to family and friends who have helped us through months of long, cold & wet training days!

The ride was in memory of Phyllis Robinson and we have already raised a large sum of money for Macmillan Cancer Support.  However donations can still be made both online and by contacting any member of the team.

Team Whitewell are Jude  Robinson (Phyllis' daughter), Godfrey Metcalfe and Nick Millward and friends.
