Story

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

Around this time last year I completed together with a courageous team of other brave colleagues the Coast to Coast Challenge. It took us from Whitehaven on the Irish Sea to Sunderland on the North Sea.

I never knew 136 miles could be so hard to do. We saw and experienced every weather type and challenge you can ever think of. Sunshine, Wind force 7/8 (according to the official Beaufort description: "generally impedes progress"), torrential rains, 45 degree uphills, Pain, reaching the highest point (over 2,000 feet), trecherous downhills. We started the ride by dipping our back wheel in the Irish Sea and it only ended when our front wheel got a dip in the North Sea at the finish.

This year, starting on 3rd July, we will attempt to complete the Coast 2 Castles 200 mile (322km) bike route departing from Newcastle and arriving in Edinburgh 3 days later on the 5th July. Please help me in supporting Edinburgh Sick Kids Friends Foundation by giving a donation.
