Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

After being involved in several charity events for Wish Upon a Star over the years, I have decided that I would like to do something for this great charity...The biggest challenge I could think of is Land's End to John O'Groats or LEJOG as it's also known…this is a 1000 mile bike ride over 14 days taking us from Englands most Southerly point in Cornwall to Scotlands most northerly point at John o'Groats. 

To cut down on costs we shall be sleeping in a tent for most nights with a couple of (probably needed) stops at Youth hostels with beds, the ride will be unsupported and we shall be living out of a bicycle trailer that I have made for the journey.

So I've set the date June 4th....booked the campsites....made the trailer (pics will follow).....created a 2 week gap in my hectic workload.....and most importantly I've talked my son Jacob into taking on this mighty challenge with me!

If you could donate some money for our efforts, we would be massively thankful as the charity we have chosen to represent, is a truly worthwhile cause.

If you have time please read a little below about When you wish upon a star and the work they do :-)

Thanks from Paul & Jacob
