Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am doing two challenges on consecutive weekends 11th May and 17-18th May to raise money for the Prostate Cancer Research Centre.
This is memory of friend and colleague Giles Bullock who sadly lost his battle with prostate cancer on 9th April 2013 aged 53. Giles was partial to a cycling challenge; Mont Ventoux, Way of the Roses, Laos and the various French Chateau Challenges to name but a few, plus the odd walking challenge; Caledonian Challenge in particular! So, it seems fitting to undertake such challenges in his memory.
I would be very grateful for any sponsorship for my efforts please!
Challenge number one –
The Fred Whitton Challenge on Sunday 11th May
This is a gruelling 111 mile cyclo sportive challenge ride around the Lake District, taking in the climbs of Kirkstone, Honister, Newlands, Whinlatter, Hardknott & Wrynose passes. It has 10838 feet (3303 metres) of ascent!
