This ride os not for the faint hearted. I'm a diabetic and suffer From Hypo's post rides and can feel the effects of exercise for days at a time. I have 2 brakes in my Shoulder blade currently. I will be cycling over the tip of the Alps and Pyrenees riding in temps up to 34d. I will be hill climbing about 14,000 meters over around 75/80 hours. I will be cycling alone but with a saftey driver.
So if you think this is easy give it a try some time. If you dont fancy giving this a punt. Spare a £1 and help us please get to our target.
Many many thanks again. Will keep you posted on Twitter - User name - La Tonk or on facebook - Shane Martin.
Cheers
Troops. We currently have raised £2141. We need to get to £2500. Were £359 short. We need your help and support please. Please spare even £1. Eveything helps. Many thanks.
Thank you very much for your kind support and donation Beverley. Much appreciated.
A very big thank you to a fello fundraiser and sports event racer MikeTisi for your kind donation and support. Much appreciated on behalf of Whizz-Kidz and myself.
Thank you to NRAM who provided £25 to me for such poor customer care. Hope they can do better in the future? Or then again this cause will just get more donation from them? Now then legs see if NRAM will sponsor a leg as they made so much last year? Watch this space?
Come on guys? Please support this great cause. Thanks
985 mile? If it was easy it would not be a challenge would it? But that's nothing to what a disabled child has to deal with on a daily basic. Help me to help them. Many thanks.

Thank you so much to Tim Hannah who has donated £20 on sponsorship form to this event and charity . Every little helps. Money. Cycle and nutrition advice or fund raising support. With Paul Dearmans pledge when I complete this event the charity so far will have £190.00p. Bev Whybrow and Paul Kane and Dan Callaghan have also said later in the year they will make donations. That's very kind. I'm still looking for sports teams , signed photos to auction off later in the year and still looking for companies to sponsor each days ride. Please come and chat if you can help the charity and me in the ride. London to Barcelona in September 2013. Thanks all :-)

Dave Saunders you are a good man. Thank you for your kind support.

I'm very disappointed at this point that so few people has either made a pledge or donated to this point. All I would ask is that you take a look at the Whizz-Kidz, see what it's about. Think about my pain and suffering on my ride. That surly is worth a few quid - the Cost of 1 pint even. Would that brake you bank? Cheers.

Paul Dearman has pledged if I finish and complete this he will pay £100 to this charity. Memo to self. Prove him wrong for the Wizz-Kidz .

Hope to be back on the bike soon. Must train hard.
