Once again, Regan and Graham are undertaking a cycling challenge to raise funds and awareness for Bloodwise, the blood cancer charity. Having completed London to Paris for the past two years, in 2018 we are going bigger: Land's End to John O'Groats is one of the UK's most iconic - and challenging - routes.
In September 2018, this ride will see us cover 980 miles in 9 days, traversing 23 counties and 3 countries. And sleeping in tents! While we are doing this supported - so not having to carry or erect the tents ourselves - it is still going to be an epic event.
Obviously, this level of endeavour requires a huge amount of training and preparation. To date we have cycled over 5000 training miles this year, participating in both organised events and plenty of our own efforts. These include: boot camp in Majorca, CobbleMonster (56 miles), New Forest Sportive (81 miles), London Revolution (185 miles), RideLondon (100 miles), several trips to Yorkshire, a recce down in the west country and Bloodwise training rides, amongst many other hours in the saddle!
This effort of course is nothing compared to what some people are going through. As a survivor of blood cancer (Hodgkin's Lymphoma), Graham knows only too well, the effects of the disease and the treatment. By supporting Bloodwise, we are helping them to bring about an end to blood cancer and an improvement in the lives of those affected by it.
Please help us to speed up the end of some of the UK's most common cancers.
