Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm cycling from Land's End to John O'Groat's with three friends with whom I regularly ride. One of them, Chas Muskett, lost his eldest son Ben in a car accident last year. Chas, Jenny and Callum Muskettt felt that the best way to commemorate Ben's 25 years would be to raise money for a charity that reflected his values and selflessness. They want to transform the loss that they have suffered into the prevention of loss for others. You have the opportunity here to join me in helping the Muskett family achieve this very worthy goal.

Through MSF, even the smallest donation can save lives - for example, through the provision of rehydration sachets or a simple course of antibiotics. MSF's vaccination and disease prevention programmes are also very effective and are again delivered at a very low cost per person. MSF ensures that every donation, regardless of size, will be used meaningfully in treating or preventing illness; you can be assured that your donation will transform the chances of survival of people much less well off than we are.

So please donate - every penny will make a real difference - and help us remember Ben in the way that he lived.......not thinking of himself but thinking of others.

 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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Over to you............

The Team

Chas is a specialist nurse practitioner in the oncology ward at our regional hospital, Ysbytty Gwynedd; Steve Macvicar is a local GP based in Beaumaris, Anglesey; Steve Watson-Jones is a tourism operator and farmer and I'm the CEO of the Countryside Council for Wales, the Welsh Government's adviser on matters to do with the natural environment. Together we've undertaken many charity rides of up to 250miles over the years, mostly in aid of cancer charities. This time we're simply going a little further...................
