Story

2019

Latest "challenge" is a return trip to Paris (and Normandy). Only 1400 km which is probably one of the shortest trips I made in decades or probably ever. Re-opened my existing justgiving page because you never know whether it will raise any money for the good cause. And I promise: next trip will be in the access of 5000 or 6000 km again.

2014

Returned home on Sunday the 28th. September after cycling a total of 2515 km in 20 days (and back at work on Monday the 29th. September).

----------------------------------------------

Sorry people, need to postpone the planned trip to Monte Cassino due to unforeseen circumstances. This now forces me to do something else instead and with only 3 weeks to spare I have chosen to do a return trip to Prague in September 2014.

A couple of years have passed since my last successful attempt to raise money for the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research Fund (now known as 'Bloodwise') with my long distance bicycle trip around the North Sea in 2009 (5365 km in 8 weeks), an event that raised a total of € 2047.00 which made it all really worthwhile, including the 15 kg I lost in bodyweight. 

This will be the 5th. time I do a bit of cycling to raise money for the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research Fund).  As always I will do the burning of calories and trust people will dig deep in to their pockets for a bit of cash for the good cause. Will keep you posted on the  progress leading up to D-Day (Departure Day).  

As a small token of my appreciation I will send a personal postcard from Prague to all those who will contribute £ 20.00 or more to the L&LRF (by that time I will have completed half of the trip). 

Come on, dig deep in to your pockets, the Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research Fund needs your financial support, so please dig deep and donate now.                                             - . - . -

By the way, the Monte Cassino trip will not be forgotten and remains on the back-burner for the time being (next year?).
