David is a keen cyclist so he roped in his cycling buddy Paul to cycle 1000 miles with him, from Land's End to John O'Groats in September 2025. They will be on the road for about 20 days starting on 3rd September, and are raising funds to support the 19 charities listed below. They have upped their fundraising goal after huge support since they launched this page.

On 1st July David and Paul did a trial of the first 4 days from Land's End to Glastonbury. It was gruelling, and possibly the toughest few days due to the inclines through Cornwall and Devon. You can follow David and Paul as they progress on Instagram: Charity_cycle_ride2025
