CyclingAgainstCancer - Lands End to John O'Groats

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

In the last week of May, we plan to set out on an epic adventure, taking us, on our bikes, from Lands End in Cornwall, approximately 1,300 miles through some of Britain's most hilly and adverse yet beautiful countryside, all the way to John O'Groats in North-East Scotland.

We plan to take a long scenic route, taking in the wild and sparsely populatd North-West of Scotland, carrying everything we need to survive, from tents to toothbrushes. It should take about three weeks.

We did not, however, want to find ourselves stuck on a wild Scottish mountainside, hungry, cold and wet, with buckled wheels and worn out brakes, without the justification of a charitable purpose to our ride. Therefore, we have decided to raise money for the cancer charity Dove House Hospice, in memory of Claire Louise Jones, who sadly passed away last July. Claire was a born fighter, which is a mindset we will no doubt need in order to complete this mammoth feat.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Dove House Hospice gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Any sponsorship will be much appreciated, and will be sure to go to a good cause.

For anyone who is interested, I will be doing my best to keep a blog, a record of our progress during the trip. You can follow us on the following link:

Wish us luck, we'll need it!
