My name is John. I am 8 years old (9 by the time we go), and I will be cycling the whole length of the Leeds-Liverpool canal during the Easter holidays.

We will get the train to Liverpool on Wednesday 12 April and then cycle back to Leeds over 4 days. We are planning to carry all our stuff and camp overnight.

The reason I'm doing this is to raise money for my church, Sunbridge Road Mission, so they can build a new church building.

It would be great if you'd like to donate. The canal is 127 miles long so if you'd like to, maybe you could give an amount per mile (e.g. 1 or 50p). It'll help me keep going when my legs are tired. My name for this trip is Pedal - Pedal because that is what we're going to be doing a lot of!
