Story

It's been a while since I pestered people for money for something stupid I am doing so I thought it's time to do it again. I am asking for any donations you can to Young Lives vs Cancer, a charity that helps young people with cancer and their families. I know this charity was a big support for our friend Nick, who recently passed away after a battle with cancer. 

On Friday I am going to attempt to get the UK Everesting record. This will basically involve riding up and down a hill 58 times until I have ridden up the height of Everest. The current UK record is 7 hours and 32 minutes and held by a professional cyclist. The 2 times Tour de Frane winner Alberto Contador, last year, did 7 hours 27 minutes and briefly held the world record before it was lowered. The aim is to get the UK record (although also beating Contador would be nice).
