Story

Hello thank you for visiting my JustGiving page.

On the 28th June Myself, My Dad, My Grandad and Chris Long will be making the 1000 mile trip over 7 days from John O Groat's to Land's End on 50cc peddle and pop mopeds (Honda PC50's)

To complete the 1000 miles we will need to do approximately 250 miles per day at 30mph, this equals to a solid 9 hours riding per day, this doesnt include food stops, refuelling or any breakdowns that we will most probably encounter. Over the 7 days we will be camping in little one man tents anywhere we can.

The bikes we will be riding are 1975 Honda PC50 peddle and pops, they are started by peddiling like you do on a push bike hence the name "peddle and pop" they do a top speed of 30mph on the flat if you're lucky, up hill they are pretty useless so a lot of peddling will be done, especially in Scotland. Each ped will be modified to carry tents, clothes and anything else that we will need for the 7 days.

The charity that I have chosen is "baby unit fund" it is a charity close to my heart because my younges son Henry was rushed into Hull Royal Infirmary at 19 days old after he stopped breathing in the night and required 7 days intensive treatment to make a full recovery and was able to return home.

The excellent care and treatment Henry received from the staff and equipment they have available to the children saved his life, for this we will be forever grateful to this hospital.

We would like to raise any amount of money to go towards any new equipment that the hospital needs to continue the excellent job they are doing saving babies lives.

John, Rob, Phil and Chris

Thank you
