On 1st August 2010 Jeremy Burfoot, a melanoma survivor, and his team will be travelling from the Houses of Parliament building in London to the Sydney Opera House and then on to Auckland New Zealand on Seadoos (personal watercraft) in order to raise money for cancer support and research services, and to promote a message of healthy living and cancer prevention.

The journey will be a world record breaking 31,000, taking Jeremy and the team around four months to complete. You can find out more information on the Ultimate Ride and keep up to date with the latest developments of the challenge at http://london-sydney.org/
