WWF is at the heart of global efforts to address the world’s most important
environmental challenges: safeguarding the natural world, tackling climate
change and enabling people to use only their fair share of natural resources.
If we don't make more effort to care for the planet now there can be little
hope for future generations. Together we can build a future where people
and nature thrive. Your support is much appreciated. Find out more by visiting

The 140 mile Coast to Coast cycle route crosses the breadth of England,
through some of the wildest landscapes in the country, from the Irish Sea to
the North Sea. It's a challenging ride which runs through the Lake District and
crosses the Pennines. I hope to complete it in 3 days from 8th to 10th July,
although various old sporting injuries will be a major handicap!

I work at St Mary's University in Twickenham, South West London, and this is one way I'm trying to raise awareness of the importance of environmental issues throughout the University.

My father-in-law, James Roberts, was a great cyclist and runner who
competed successfully in various amateur events on The Wirral and in North Wales in the 1940s and 50s. I'm attempting this challenge in his memory and I'm sure he'd have been supportive of my efforts.
