Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. On 28th October my son Joey Langford was tragically killed in an accident. Joey was 22 and he was just about to celebrate his 23rd Birthday was his twin Brother Jordan Langford. Joey was part way through his Royal Marines training and was progressing well. His dream was to achieve the coveted Green Beret. The Royal Marines Charity have helped me and my family at a time we needed support. The Royal Marines are a family and we want to give something back to say thank you and support any other families at a time of need

In memory of Joey, my Brother Mark Langford and a friend Steve have decided that as large, slightly overweight cyclists...to undertake a true challenge.

We have decided to climb 9 of the iconic Tour de France 'Cols' in 3 days which will equate to a 'mere' 31000 ft of ascent - it will include the brutal Col du Glandon, Alpe D'Huez and no alpine challenge would be complete without the feared and fabled Galibier!
