My story

Please make time to follow the link above and "Donate" so the Charitable Fund gets your money faster and 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added - Make the tax man give it back!

I'm attempting to cycle from Lands End to John O’Groats in 12 days, starting on the 11^th of July. The ride is roughly 1000 miles on winding, hilly back roads (feeling sorry for me yet?) and averages about 85 miles per day. None of us have done anything like this before, hence why we are “attempting” it!

The money I raise will be split evenly between two great causes, and the cost of the ride and support is all self funded:

The Cancer Information Point provides invaluable information to cancer patients and their families and carers, and is staffed entirely by volunteers, who do an amazing job in supporting this group.

A “Mother & Baby garden" has just been built by the Trust and will provide some peace and tranquility for families. It needs plants, shrubs and trees.

If I do amazingly well and half the money I raise more than covers the mother and baby garden, then any extra will go to the Charitble fund anyway!

1p per mile (£10) would be fantastic, but anything you can give - even 1/2 p per mile or the minimum is great! (-:

Our planned route will be: (Please feel free to stand by the side of the road with chocolate and coffee!)

Day 1: Lands End to Golant = 65 miles

Day 2: Golant to Exeter = 84 miles

Day 3: Exeter to Bristol = 82 miles

Day 4: Bristol to Leominster = 76 miles

Day 5: Leominster to Chester = 82 miles

Day 6: Chester to Slaidburn = 81 miles

Day 7: Slaidburn to Carlisle = 76 miles

Day 8: Carlisle to New Lanark = 90 miles

Day 9: New Lanark to Crianlarich = 87 miles

Day 10: Crainlarich to Loch Ness = 100 miles

Day 11: Loch Ness to Tongue = 100 miles

Day 12: Tongue to John O’Groats = 66 miles

Day 13: John O’Groats to My Bed = 644 miles

Day 14: Sleeping
