This summer (if we get one) I will be cycling from John O’Groats to Land’s End in order to raise as much money for charity as possible. This challenge comes with a twist as I will attempt to solo cycle the near 1000 miles in 7 days! That’s an average of 140 miles a day! The average time taken to do such a cycle is around 12-14 days, so you can see that I don’t do things by halves!
A donation of any shape or size will be hugely appreciated, they will go a long way in getting me through this challenge and hopefully close to my whopping target of £6000! I will be raising money for three charities that are close to my heart.
· Cancer Research UK
o I have lost a Nan and Grandad to Cancer over the years and always like to give back when I can to help others and support the search for a cure.
· The National Brain Appeal
o A close friend of mine underwent surgery to remove a brain tumour only last year, when I heard the news it really made me emotional that this could happen to anyone of us, even those closest to us. Now I can’t even begin to think about what Rachael and Neil have been through, let alone the wider family. I have always said if there is anything I can do to support friends and family I will. Which is why I am supporting Rachael and this charity in the summer.
· Just4Children
o Millie is a daughter of long term friends Neil and Nichola. Millie is unable to walk without aids and requires life changing surgery in order to give her the life and freedom any 4 year girl deserves. We all take the simple things in life for granted, being surrounded by many children in my life I want to be able to do something to support the cause for Millie to one-day walk without aids!
A deeper insight into the stories for each charity can be found on the respective team page, links are at the bottom of this page.
For those of you that want to know a little more about the challenge, In the build-up and during the cycle I will be regularly updating my blog. This is so you can share with me all the pain I go through in prep and also completing the challenge!
