Brain tumours rob families of peace, finance and time. Having a friend who is suffering because of this, I wanted to do what I can to help.

… and what I can do is cycle and so I’m going to cycle the 1000 miles from John O’Groats to Land’s End in August 2024. In 2009 I cycled the journey solo for a disabled children’s society as I was a disabled child, born with Fibular Hemimelia. I did this incredible journey in 23 days.

This time, I will not be cycling solo. I have enlisted my good friend Viv to be my support vehicle and will therefore aim to do this in a shorter time of just 12-13 days - a target of 80 miles per day! This will be an epic journey which will push me to the limits of my endurance and so to keep me motivated and my morale high I ask you one simple thing… Please sponsor me via the The Wight Brainy Bunch website -

https://www.thewightbrainybunch.org.uk/. Every penny you donate will go to help unfortunate patients and their families to fight this life limiting disease head on.

The Wight Brainy Bunch are a fabulous local charity who help patients and their families on the Isle of Wight who are suffering from the unimaginable hardship which comes with the life changing diagnosis of a brain tumour - so dig down the back of the sofa and check your old handbags for any spare change you can find to donate to this incredible cause.
