Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have taken on this challenge on behalf of someone very special, my 35 year old cousin who was diagnosed with Motor neurons Disease some 18 months ago, my cousin Dawn is a loving, bubbly and fun individual who would do anything for anyone, and she genuinely has a heart of gold.

Although my fundraising will not make much of a difference to Dawn, we both hope that with your kind donations the funds will go towards scientific research and one day there will be a cure for this cruel and nasty disease.

Originally my challenge was to cycle the Coast-2-Coaste (Whitehaven to Tynemouth) as Dawn lives in Whitehaven.

Within the company I work for, there are many many good people who have offered support and are willing to give up their time to join me in this challenge, with that, some discussions turned to the three peaks challenge in 24hrs (Ben Nevis, Scarfell, Snowdon) I wasn’t sure at first but the idea grew on me, both challenges physically demanding on their own but one after the other, wow, we must be nuts.

Then out of the blue with no pre warning another colleague pulled the pin and threw a grenade (you know who you are) he said why don’t we finish off with the great north run as well, it’s something I’ve always wanted to do he said, Yes but not straight after climbing over 10’000ft and cycling 140 miles surely, yep he said, and so it began.

So as you can see we are going to experience some serious pain for your kind donations.

I would like to say a heartfelt thank you to those who have offered to join me in this challenge, for your time, your passion and determination & help in making all of this happen. You are great people. Thank you.
