Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

We’re a team of five taking on an epic journey from Carlisle all the way to Truro — four riders on the road and one dedicated support crew member keeping us safe, organised, and ready for anything. Their job is to handle the logistics, keep the wheels turning, and step in only if someone is injured, making sure we always have four riders completing the challenge from start to finish.

This ride covers more than 500 miles of hills, long days, and whatever the British weather decides to throw at us. We’re doing it to raise vital funds for two charities close to our hearts: the Motor Neurone Disease Association and Cancer Research UK.

Each of us has seen the impact these illnesses can have on families, friends, and communities. MNDA and Cancer Research UK provide essential support and drive life‑changing research, and we want to help them continue that work.

We’ll be pushing ourselves physically and mentally over several days, but it’s nothing compared to the challenges faced by those living with MND or cancer. Every donation — big or small — fuels our legs, lifts our spirits, and brings these charities closer to breakthroughs in care, support, and research.

Thank you for backing us, sharing our page, and helping turn this ride into something that genuinely makes a difference.

Five of us, one goal — doing some good, one mile at a time.
