My wife over the last few years has been diagnosed on three different occasions with three different types of breast cancer, my chosen charity "Breast Cancer Now" helps and supports people with breast cancer and their families who also suffer albeit in different ways. My wife has been incredibly strong and has overcome and survived everything that has been thrown at her, firstly with the cancer itself, then with each course of treatment that she has had to face.
My partner in this road trip, John, himself, found out he had prostate cancer only last year, and following surgery last July is back to his normal self and he wishes to put something back too, to his chosen charity "Prostate Cancer UK".
Thank you so much for helping us raise some much needed funds to help others.
What we are doing.
We have purchased an 18 year old Volvo C30 for £950.00 and we intend to visit all 4 extreme compass points of the British mainland within 24 hours if we can, Google says it can be done in 26.5 hours, the record stands at 23:38 but it is our intention to drive from Lizard Point in Cornwall to Ness Point in Lowestoft to Ardnamurchan Lighthouse on Scotland's west coast to Dunnet Head on Scotland's north coast, a journey of approximately 1200 miles plus the journey from Hull to Cornwall and from Dunnet Head to get home, so overall around 2100 miles in a car worth less than £1000.00...Gulp!!
