LAND END TO JON O GROATS CYCLE
Brian, Rikki, Simon & Rich are on a quest in aid of 2 great causes and in memory of a close and dear friend Kevin.
We will also be supported by a team, consisting of Steve (Kevin’s Brother in law) Ian, close friend of Kevin in the team Van, Sue, (my wife) Tanya (Rikki’s wife) and Rachel (Brian’s partner) in support car/s. This is a huge team effort
We will will be finishing on the anniversary of Kevin’s passing and hope that his wife Annette, sons Mat and James and anybody including close friends will be there at the end.
We aren’t experienced tarmac warriors and we aren’t superhuman so we would really like your help as we get ready for, and then complete, the nearly 1,000 mile trip.
We believe we can do it with training and determination, but with your help and motivation we can change that to KNOWING we can do it.
We lost a dear friend of ours in June to a very aggressive from of Prostate cancer and he is our inspiration in this quest.
He meant so much to so many people and he really was the one you’d describe as “the life and soul of the party”.
Losing Kevin has taught us a lot and certainly the fact that this disease could strike any of us, or more tragically, those closest to us at any time. Kevin died at the age of 52 leaving a wife and two sons behind.
We plan to complete our challenge in 14 days
The charities we are raising money for are Prostate Cancer Research and the Forest Holme Hospice where Kevin spent his last few days who were amazing.
Prostate kills more people than Breast Cancer! We are trying raise awareness in the that more awareness will make sure more men get checked earlier.
This is plea to help us by sponsoring our journey and raising important funds for either the fantastic Forest Holme or Prostate UK.
Prostate UK have made huge strides in the last year but is still hugely underfunded compared to breast cancer etc. They do incredible work to raise awareness in men and for their partners, it’s about getting checked earlier and coming up with more accurate ways to check easily
Please just think about your plans for this evening and the weekend. Will you spending quality time with a man you are close to? A husband, boyfriend, brother, father, son, uncle, grandad or just a very close friend. If you can help us you’ll also be helping them, helping them to live a long and healthy life.
With hope and anticipation that you can help us ordinary blokes achieve something very special and at the same time raise awareness and valuable funds for such great causes.
We are fortunate to have local businesses sponsoring given legs of our journey and thank all of them and anyone who donates
Thank you
We will have progress reports on our mammoth task and hope to capture some spectacular scenery on route.
Please give generously.
Our heart felt thanks
