Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Since retiring I have undertaken an annual cycling charity fundraising event (in 2013 it was the English 'Coast to coast' for 'Help for heroes', in 2014, the Scottish 'Coast to coast' for Unicef).

For 2015 as I have fully retired and before my body gives in, I plan to do the 'big one' - mainland UK from 'end to end'. Traditionally people think that is from Land's End to John O'Groats. However, everyone does that and it is not geographically accurate! I shall be cycling from the southernmost point in mainland UK (Lizard Point) to the northernmost point (Dunnet Head) via Land's End and John O'Groats. It is about 1000 miles.

For my charity I have chosen ActionAid. Please give generously bearing in mind the following:

•  a £25 donation would mean you are sponsoring me for just 2.5p a mile
• £25 could supply water to 250 people for four days in East Africa
• £100 could run a medical hospital in India for 5 days, treating over 1000 people
• £200 could provide a school of 1,000 pupils in Malawi with a guaranteed meal of nutritious porridge for two week

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity. So it’s the most efficient way to donate – saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
