Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The aim is to complete a cycle ride from Land's End to John O'Groats. There will be 8 of us, 4 pairs of 2, who will take turns to cycle throughout the day and on into the night with the intent of completing the journey in just under 80 hours with a cheeky one night stop over in our lovely homeland of the Lake District which luckily is pretty much exactly half way! 

Here's our route: http://www.bikemap.net/route/1640390

We're doing this because not only is it a personal challenge which will push us to our limits both mentally and physically, but also, to help beat the horrific disease that is cancer, specifically breast cancer. We have chosen CoppaFeel because they are doing amazing work in helping women and men alike be more aware of the symptoms of breast cancer, their prime mission being to 'stamp out late detection and misdiagnosis of breast cancer'. Early diagnosis is the key to beating cancer quickly and effectively, and we believe that by educating people by the masses, breat cancer survival rates will increase as it is detected sooner rather than later. It seems recently that everyone knows someone who has been directly affected by cancer, and it's heartbreaking. It has provided us with the determination and passion to spur us on and complete our aim. We want to complete the End to End ride in 80 hours and raise lots of money for an amazing cause. Help us help rid the world of breast cancer. Please donate to an amazing charity. 

A message from CoppaFeel:

We're chuffed to hear about the Windermere school students and their families taking on this huge challenge in aid of us! Cycling that distance is no mean feat, especially when you have a few hills and probably some great British weather to contend with! The awareness and funds that they raise through this challenge will enable us to continue our life-saving work and it's so lovely to see young people understanding the message and supporting it in such a fab way. Boob salute to you all! - Maren Hallenga
