Story
Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I have been a Fire Fighter for 27+ years now, and having used the fantastic therapy services offered by the Fire Services Charity on several occasions, I have wanted to do something to both thank the charity, and help other Fire Fighters benefit the way I have.
So when my brother (Tim Light also has a Just giving page) said he was going to cycle from “End to End” John O’Groats to Lands End, I thought this could be right up my street, so to speak!
So here I am, I’ve given up smoking, learning to ride a bike again (you do forget) and mapping our route, Google maps, email me if you would like to see it on Google Earth, and I'll send it to you. The ride starts on or around the 10th Sept, and I will be writing a blog,the link below should take you there.

And I will be doing my best to update it every day and add pictures of some of the views.
We will be doing this without support, just two brothers on bikes, with what we need in panniers, cycling just over a 1000 miles, slightly round about route, taking in the isles of Mull and Arran and a few ferry crossings!
I am not setting a donation target, I just want to get a much as I can, so any offer will be gratefully accepted by me and those of my profession injured or ill after serving the public in the way we do.
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
