Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We quite like challenges.  This year we are cycling from John O'Groats to Lands End.  We have planned for it to take 11 days and cover a total of just over 1000 miles.  It has taken a lot of time to plan and train for the challenge and, to be honest, raising money was a bit of an afterthought.  

However, so many people have asked we are raising money we have decided that it would be a waste not to! And now that all the planning is done and all we have to do is DO IT, we have found the time to think about what to raise money for.  

I have chosen LATCH (http://www.latchwales.org/) because it is a charity local to me and through work I get to meet some of the people that they support.  LATCH supports children with cancer and their families at the Children's Hospital for Wales.  Please have a look at the website and donate a couple of quid if you want to. If we could raise a pound for every mile we are cycling we would be over the moon!! (as would the people that the money will help). 

We will be updating our facebook pages with our whereabouts, progress, aches and pains daily (https://www.facebook.com/emma.battensby) (https://www.facebook.com/jinni.king?fref=ts
