Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In 2008 Alex and I cycled the Coast to Coast in 3 days. In 2009 I did it with another group in 2 days.  This year the plan is to complete the 142 mile route in just one day

So Alex and I will be setting out from Whitehaven early in the morning on Saturday 19th June and cycling for approximately 12 hours, climbing 12,500 feet and burning in the region of 9000 calories.

You can see the route and some of the stats from last year here.  The C2C Guide website also gives some idea of what we are going to face.

I'm raising money for Vision Aid Overseas a charity commited to helping some of the poorest people in the world gain better sight. Whether it be a teacher in Ghana, a seamstress in Zambia, or a school pupil in India, deteriorating sight can have a devastating impact on people's lives and livelihoods.  This charity is supported by Ultralase the specialists in correcting vision.

So please, sponsor me with whatever you can.  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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
