Thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I appreciate that there are many demands on your time and money but even a few pence can make a difference to Street Soccer. I'm delighted to say I DID IT :) Over 1000 miles in rain, hail and sun. What an experience and thank you so much for your support :)

I have been thinking about cycling LEJOG for a couple of years now and with a little 'gentle' persuasion to get on and do it before I get too old, this year seemed like as good a time as any.

I will be cycling on my own with Carol as  back up and intermittent support from good friends Moira and Andy.

The cycling will be challenging enough but our mode of transport and accommodation will be our trusty semi- converted transit parked up at caravan sites- not exactly salubrious :)

I'm cycling for Street Soccer Scotland and Bloodwise (see my other Just giving page for Bloodwise, unfortunately Just Giving can't split donations). Both charities  mean a lot to me. Street Soccer because it's close to Stewart's family's heart and Bloodwise because we have a special friend who has recently been diagnosed with leukaemia.

Every penny you donate will help spur me on during the long slog north. I plan to ride 80-90 miles a day over 14 days so I've been training hard making good use of the local hills. Carol will ride some of it with me but 'only the flat bits'! Her main job will be to keep me well fed and  motivated.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
