Hi Everyone,

I have taken it upon myself to undertake this gruelling 168 mile cycle ride once again! starting at Alexandra Palace in London and finishing at the Download Festival in Derbyshire, along with a motley crew of dubious characters from the world of Heavy Metal and Rock n Roll.

I am raising money for 3 very worthwhile causes, Nordoff Robbins, Teenage Cancer Trust and Childline.

Last year the group managed to raise a staggering £73,000 and this year I want to help them raise even more.

All help, support, donations no matter how small all help to make a difference and change lives.

I have the honour of joining my good friends The Heavy Metal Truants,  led by Alexander Milas (Editor in Chief of Metal Hammer and founding father of the Heavy Metal Cycling Club) and Rod Smallwood (Legendary manager of the mighty Iron Maiden) and be part of the elite brotherhood of the Heavy Metal Truants.

This will be no mean feat... a true test of mind over matter and endurance.

Your support in this adventure would be really appreciated,

Please dig deep and give what you can (Don't forget the gift aid!) Any amount you donate is really appreciated.

Mark
