Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

I have been training to ride from Lands End in Cornwall to John O'Groats in Scotland.  A journey of 1,012 miles, in 12 days.

As part of my training, which I started in January, I cycled through many video-based training plans (thanks to thesufferfest.com) on my turbo trainer in the garage.  At the end of each video, there is often a short film showing someone do something crazy on a bike which is great fun as you warm down.

But one of those films is from World Bicycle Relief showing the story of a teenage girl in Kenya who is now able to get to school reliably as she now has a bike, provided by WBR, and can save the 10-mile+ walk each way along treacherous roads.  There's a lot more to the story than that but it is heartwarming to see the newly enhanced life that can be lived and fulfilled - just by adding in a bike!

These bikes are purpose-built and cost £120 each.  I hope I can raise enough money to add at least one more, if not many more.

If I'm going to cycle for "fun", I hope to enable someone else to cycle to live.
