Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

So I'm cycling from the bottom of the country Land's End to the top John O'Groats on 31st July and aim to finish on the 13th August.

I've been asked a few times why.... well I quite enjoy a bit of a spin around on a bike and was looking for a challenge, so I thought the 1000 mile route seemed like a suitable way to spend 2 weeks of the summer holidays. Secondly I'm aiming to raise £1000 for Leukaemia and Myeloma Research UK.

I've picked this charity, well my mum did, as she's currently undergoing treatment for Myeloma and we both want to give something back to help raise funds as its one of the lesser well known cancer charities. Also, a close friend of the family is currently receiving treatment for Leukaemia and this has affected other members of my family in the past. So this charity seemed like an obvious choice.

I aim to update this page with training rides and warm up events over the coming months and will try and add pictures etc!! If anyone is bored (especially in lockdown) and fancies a spin around the north west give me a shout.

Thanks again for reading .... and the donation, hopefully.
