Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

This Sunday, 24th July, Claire, Alf and Catherine set off from Land's End to cycle to John O'Groats (sounds so easy when you say it like that!) We hope to arrive in sunny Caithness (well, no harm in hoping :)) on Wed 3rd or Thurs 4th August, depending on just how exhausted we feel on reaching Inverness....but certainly in time to get back home for Belladrum!

 If you'd like to support our efforts (or just commend our madness!) please use this page to donate to Marie Curie Cancer Care.
