Story

Update 3/9/2008

As you can see from the picture opposite, I successfully reached John O'Groats last Wednesday afternoon, having cycled 1030 miles over 15 days, spending a total of 95 hours cycling!

It currently looks like we will top £3000 in sponsorship, not a mean achievement I hope you agree, and dwon to all who supported me in any way.

Many many thanks!

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

The cause: to raise £10,000 to create a permanent fund to enable Leicester YMCA to help disadvantaged young Leicester people to have positive life changing experiences. This might be something as simple as a pair of shoes to atttend an interview or as complex as an overseas adventure
The aim: to cycle nearly 1000 miles from Lands End to John O’Groats, over 15 days, in August 2008

The picture on this page is of me taking part in the 2007 London Marathon. This new challenge is for me the equivalent of 15 marathons over 15 days, so please be as generous as you can!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Leicester Ymca 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.

So please sponsor me now!
