Robin and Flynn's Death Valley Cycle 2015
Fundraising for Alzheimer's Society
Story
On the 21st of March 2015, we will be setting off to ride 420km over 5 days through Death Valley in the Mojave desert. We are looking to raise a total of over £3,250 for the Alzheimer's Society by putting ourselves through a week of sore legs and bums in the heat of Death Valley.
