Having just got my first road bike I've decided it's time for a challenge...

On 15th August I'll be setting off with my Dad to cycle across England from coast to coast - 151 miles from Whitehaven to Tynemouth over 3 days, along the route of Hadrian's Wall.

I know it's going to be tough, but we're raising money for a great cause - Bloodwise Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research.

We've been inspired by the courage of Scarlett from school (www.scarlettsdragons.co.uk) and of Dad's friend, Steve, from work.

Please don't feel that you have to sponsor us, but it would be great if you could. With a full 20 miles of training in the bag so far what could possibly go wrong!
