On Saturday 10th August Sam, Hugh and I are attempting the brutal 140 mile coast to coast bike ride starting in Whiteheaven and finishing in Tynemouth. Please support us in this gruelling challenge to raise money for Eden Valley Hospice, a charity almost entirely funded by public donations.

We are raising money in memory of my Dad who passed away 2 years ago. He is without doubt the strongest and most optimistic person I have ever met. Eden Valley Hospice enabled him to live the final years of his life at the place he loved most, home. Please give generously so that other families can benefit as much as we did.

His glass was always half full so please help us fill the rest of the glass!
