Participants: Gordon Pearson, Anne-Marie Morphet, Paul Large, Cameron Morphet, Emma Lucas & Rob Hartley.

The aim of this challenge is as simple as its name suggests - to conquer the breadth of Britain by bike! Starting on 26th August 2011 with our rear wheels in the Irish Sea in the town of St Bees, our charity challenge encompasses some of the best scenery Britain has to offer! From the stunning mountainous region of the Lake District to the beautiful open moors of the Northern Pennines and lots of hills!!! Finally finishing on 28th August in Tynemouth.

Our reason for taking on this challenge is very personal to us. On June 5th 2011 Jackie Pearson, wife to Gordon & loving mother to Anne-marie, Emma and Lynsey lost her brave battle to Muscular Dystrophy. The NE Assisted Ventilation service provided Jackie with a ventilation machine that enabled her to cope with complications of her illness in the comfort of her own home. It is an important service that helps people with a variety of different illnesses by providing essential breathing and monitoring equipment to help them in their everyday lives
