Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 3rd May 2009 I was mid way through a long bike ride through the Scottish Highlands and Outer Hebrides when I received a phone call from my sister-in-law in New Zealand, telling me that my brother Peter had suffered a seizure out of the blue.

On 31st October 2010, at the age of 46, recently married and with a beautiful two year old daughter, Pete died from brain cancer after battling the devastating effects of a Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) tumour for 18 months.

To mark 10 years since my brother’s death I will return to the Highlands to finish that bike ride in his memory. 503 miles of big hills, big beaches and probably big headwinds, on and off road in 9 days.

I will be raising money for Headcase Cancer Trust, dedicated to researching a cure for GBM - more about them below.

Your support will be massively appreciated, and you will be able to follow my progress on Facebook and Twitter.
