Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I'm cycling from my home in the UK to Spain in July 2022 in memory of my younger brother, Andy, who sadly passed away 2 years ago. He was a talented musician, keen cyclist, and a tender & loving man who is sorely missed by all that knew him. He remains in our hearts. RIP Andy.

The first stage of the journey takes me from Cheshire to Portsmouth, broadly following UK cycle route 5 through the Midlands and south. After the ferry to Saint-Malo, it's across Brittany to join the EuroVelo 1 down the west coast of France - before heading off east to tackle the (gentler) Pyrennes south of Perpignan.

The final stretch is onto Palafrugell, around 70 miles north of Barcelona, where I'll meet up with the family for a summer break.

Thanks to Layla, Maisie & Zoe who have indulged my obsession with doing this trip. And to my employer and colleagues at SL Investment Management, who have supported me wholeheartedly in this venture.

Any support you can provide for UNICEF and their work with child victims of the war in Ukraine is greatly appreciated. All costs associated for the trip are already covered, so 100% of donations (net of Just Giving fee) goes to this worthy cause.

Finally - it's a solo cycle, but if anyone fancies joining me for a leg or two, I'd be delighted to hear from you!

Best Wishes, Alec
