Story
Route 66-Virtually! A 2020 Vision Starting Tuesday, 1st September 2020, my aim is to cycle 2,448 miles (3.939 km), the original length (certified in 1926) of the famous US Highway Route 66, and to finish on (or before!) 30th September 2020. But I won't be touring across the US continent, instead I will be peddling around the 500 mile road network of Guernsey, Channel Islands.
The objective is to raise funds, which will be divided on a specific percentage basis, for three charities, the Macular Society (60%), a UK charity with an international reach, Mind Guernsey (30%), a local charity with UK affiliations and the Guernsey Botanical Trust (10%), a local community focused charity.
The fundraising for each of these charities has been impacted heavily this year and I'd like to raise as much as possible to help support the important work each of them do.

4 years agoMy Crowdfunding page is due to close 31st Dec 2020. I’d like to say a huge thank you to all those who have supported this effort, through donations, encouragement and well-wishes. I’d also like to thank the local media who have been very positive in their support; the most recent piece receiving a double page spread in the Guernsey Press, after completing of the additional 466 miles and ending the tour, virtually, in San Francisco! Whilst the final figure, £2950, is just shy of the £3000 target, the 3 charities will each receive a good sum:

Noticed you were slightly short of you target, so here you go, this should nudge you up to the 100%! Very interesting challenge you set yourself and for three worthy beneficiaries. Well done.

I have chosen these three charities because they each provide and offer health and wellbeing benefits, but the Macular Society is the principal charity because I have a (currently) incurable eye condition called Bests disease. The aim is to raise funds towards finding a cure
