Story

John 'O' Groats to Lands End
A tandem ride from John'O'Groats to Lands End. It won't be easy. It's a long way to go. In February 2016 I had even I further to go, hospital tests, a frightening diagnosis, a regime of statins, beta-blockers and aspirin. I had two choices. One would mean I had a long way to go. The other would mean I had nowhere to go. I chose the long way. I began walking every day  and losing weight supported by family and dear friends. Later on with the encouragement of Jono, my son, I began cycling.  Now, twelve months later I am back at the weight I was for the first 50 odd years of my life and fitter than I have ever been at any time in my life! The statins, beta-blockers and aspirin are just a memory. It's been a long journey but what better way to celebrate it than starting an even longer one?  So in September of this year we are to begin our ride at John 'O' Groats and two weeks or so later will arrive at Lands End, a distance of some 1,000 miles.  Jono and I are supporting two charities for our ride; The British Heart Foundation and Cementing Futures (an educational development charity bringing hope and dignity to children living in the slums of Dhaka, Bangladesh).  You can donate to Cementing Futures on Jono's page (Hornblow JOGLE).  Thank you for supporting us, we are really thankful and hope that you will follow us if you can on Facebook (The Hornblow JOGLE).  Or on our website www.thehornblowjogle.com
