Ken and Neil’s LEJOG cycle May 2026

We are two brothers cycling Land’s End to John o’ Groats in May 2026 (23 or 24 days). At the ages of 60 and 58, and with an absence from regular cycling for 30+ years, it’s time to enjoy this new journey and challenge (1,176 miles which is a longer LEJOG route 75% on roads and 25% traffic-free) whilst raising whatever funds we can for two great charities.

One charity is ‘Race Against Dementia’ which is a global charity founded by three-time Formula 1 World Champion Sir Jackie Stewart OBE that aims to find a cure or preventative treatment for dementia with the same "Formula 1 attitude" of urgency and innovation.

The organisation identifies and funds talented early-career researchers, equipping them with a unique leadership and development programme inspired by the high-performance culture of motorsport.

By fostering global collaborations and applying F1 principles—such as teamwork, precision, and rapid technological advancement—the charity works to accelerate scientific breakthroughs and disrupt traditional research practices to beat the disease faster.

Your support will be well received and contribute so much to this unbelievable charity.

Thank you

Ken & Neil Wood
