Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

The best challenges' in life are often thought of over several pints and a curry and this one is no different. All of a sudden.... oops too late, we are doing this.

The Little and Large Cycle Challenge is a ride from Land's End to John O'Groats between 28th April and 8th May 2023.

The riders are Tony Shaw, Andy Cartwright and Craig Shaw. The support team are Aki Atkinson, Dave Shaw Tony Lewis, th medical support from Andy Thurgood.

As you can imagine, its not just as simple as jumping on a bike and off you go. Training has started and by the time we depart, we should have 5 months worth under our belts and many miles.

Being Freemasons, we are a band of brothers with common values. Through a shared bond of benevolence, we donate our own money to help others. Not many people know that in this country, Freemasonry is one of the largest donators to charity outside of the National Lottery. Everything we raise, is generated from within or by doing challenges such as this with the assistance of generous people such as you.

The Herefordshire Masonic Charity Association has been chosen as they are a masonic charity that generously helps to support many local charities outside of freemasonry. They provide grants worth tens of thousands of pounds every year. Some.of the many charities assited through HMCA are as follows:

Hereford Cathedral Trust
Ledbury Maritime Cadets
Hay on Wye Food Bank
The Haven Breast Cancer Support
Riding for the disabled
Burghill School
Bromyard Food bank
Royal College for the blind
Happy Days
Mind Step
