Story
From 8 July - 17 July I will be cycling from John O'Groats to Land's End in memory of my niece Keziah Grayson who passed away from Trisomy 13 (a nondisjunction condition similar to Down's Syndrome) in September 2008.
This is approx 960 miles of cycling in 10 days, whilst putting up with Sean Thomson and Arden Tomison the whole way.
Whilst any donation you would like to give would of course be gratefully received (http://www.justgiving.com/keziah-grayson, I am raising money for DSRF-UK), the main purpose of the cycle is to publicise and raise awareness of the book that my sister-in-law wrote about Keziah, which was published last year. The book is an inspirational read (in my unbiased opinion of course...) and takes you on the journey that my sister-in-law and brother went on with Keziah, who although not with us for long could not be more loved and will forever remain in our hearts.
Further information on what the book is about (together with accompanying reviews) can be found at http://www.amazon.co.uk/Keziah-Lizzie-Grayson/dp/1852405406.
Also, and just to keep things interesting on the cycle, for every £50 raised I will be riding one mile in my beloved Kermit costume (see picture below).
8 of us are doing the cycle and all raising money for various charities. You can follow our attempt at http://mhpjogle.wordpress.com/, which will be providing regular updates on training and the build-up to the cycle and during the cycle itself of course.
All support whether monetary or simply words of encouragement will be most appreciated!
