Story

This year we decided that instead of celebrating Nicks 83rd birthday in a nice restaurant or with family, that we would have an adventure and set ourselves a challenge in aid of a charity very close to our hearts - Harry's Pals.

On March 17th we will be boarding the 9:30 bus from Daventry to Banbury which will be the first of 18 buses we will travel on as we have set ourselves goal to reach Lands End in just four days.

Nick suffers from a back problem and a dodgy knee so sitting on buses for four days, as well as spending long periods in the cold (and wet) will be challenging but we will do everything we can to wave the flag for Harry's Pals at Lands' End on the 20th March.

If you are able to support us then please do, we would love to think that we could help more families to get the support that they really need and this will be what spurs us on.

Thank you
