Alz 1300 Charity Cycle Ride
Nigel Barnes is raising money for Alzheimer's Society
Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Following a very tough 2 years watching our father suffer, deteriorate & subsequently succumb to Alzheimer's. I felt i needed to do something to help the Alzheimer's Society. Our father Clive Barnes spent his final 12 months in a specialist Dementia Care Home.
The money we raise will go to helping fund additional research within the Society.
Our Challenge
Will take on the Typical LeJog route that i did back in 2013, this will take me from Lands End to John'o'Groats. A distance of 970 miles. Half way through this Sarah, our friends & I will also ride the ALZ 100 route with all the other riders.
Then i will ride to the West coast to start my Coast to Coast at Whitehaven. This will finish in Sunderland.
From Sunderland i will continue North through Scotland to complete LeJog at John'o'Groats 11 days & 1300 miles from the start.
I will be riding solo supported by Sarah.
When I Ride Coast to Coast i will be accompanied by Peter Hall & Marl Riley who have now decided to ride with me to Fort William
When I Ride The Alz 100 Sarah & I will be accompanied by Paul Oatham of Pro Vision, Mark & Kate Nicholls, Tony & Lisa Stevens, Roger Knight of Mercedes, Wayne Lacey of ProVision RT, Karen & Richard Line, Sonia & Robert Eld, Alex Mollart & Jamie Newman.
My journey will end in Scotland at John 'o' Groats on Fathers Day. This wasn't planned and will make the last day something special. I was always proud of my dad & I hope this last day will be be one to savour knowing he was proud of me & would be proud are what we achieve in his memory & for all other sufferers
