I am cycling Land's End to John O'Groats at the end of April, this is something I have wanted to do for sometime, but never had the opportunity/time to do so. As I am doing it for Charity I have decided to set a challenge of completing the ride in 5 days. This should equate to cycling about 175 miles each day, direct route on major A roads.
The two charities I have chosen to raise money for are two which I and am sure many others will have had experience of MacMillan Nurses
http://www.macmillan.org.uk/HowWeCanHelp/Nurses/AboutMacmillanNurses.aspx and Cancer Research at Christie
http://www.christie.nhs.uk/default.aspx. My target is to raise over £1000 and I will be coming round with a sponsor form shortly. If you can let me know if you would be able to support me in this enterprise, I would appreciate it and I can add you to the form. Please indicate a postal code so that the tax can be claimed back. I have also set up a site at just giving to enable the technological enabled to use that, for those others I have the traditional paperwork.
