Story
Thanks for supporting our fundraising.
On September the 4th, 2021, my Dad and I will be taking part in the Deloitte Ride Across Britain event and have pledged to raise at least £4400 for Macmillan Cancer Support, a charity very close to our hearts and the hearts of many of our friends and family
The ride will begin at Lands End and finish in John O Groats, taking 9 days, covering a total of 980miles and too many ft of climbing to think about right now (I just calculated it and its 52,529ft....)
Just to make the ride a little more interesting / challenging, we have opted for the camping option, spending 8 out of the 9 nights in tents. That one night in a hotel is going to be very welcome I'm sure
If you would like to check out the route we are taking, you can find it in the link below

Although both Dad and I cycle regularly and have taken part in a number of long distance events in the past, this is on another level and I would be lying if I said we weren't a little nervous about the challenge
If you can please help by donating what you can, whether its the cost of a Costa coffee or a small hatch back, all donations are very welcome. We will be self funding the trip, so 100% of what you donate will be going to Macmillan Cancer Support
We plan to document our training and the event on my Instagram page @cycling_birmingham. We will also set up a FB page so people can follow along if they want to
Thanks again for your support and wish us luck
Mark and Matt
