My story

“End to End for Papyrus & Prostate Cancer UK
 
A “Cycologist” once said “Life is like riding a bicycle – to stay balanced, you must keep moving!”  With this good advice in mind, I am planning to realise a long held ambition to cycle from Land’s End to John O Groats (Le Jog) in September, and in doing so raise money for Papyrus (Prevention of Young Suicide) and  Prostate Cancer UK. The route will cover 990 miles and 46,000ft of climbing and will take 14 days. (Now I type this,  I’m feeling quite daunted! ) The ride starts on the 6th September and it is appropriate that I will be riding on World Suicide Prevention Day 10th September.
I also wish to raise funds for Prostate Cancer UK who have been an invaluable support to family, friends and colleagues, plus  I can ride a bike but struggle to grow a “Movember” tache!
During training I have taken a few tumbles, pulled some leg muscles, and felt exhausted, and that was just trying to get my lycra cycling shorts on!
Please will you support my fundraising efforts by sponsoring my big bike ride from the most southerly point to the most northerly point of the UK? It would be great to raise a£1:50 per mile and reach a target of £1500. I will post updates as the adventure unfolds. Many thanks in anticipation of your generosity for these two good causes.

My updates

After 14 days, 1013 miles and 67,500ft of climbing, the cycle ride comes to an end. Thank you all, for your huge generosity in supporting Papyrus & Prostate Cancer UK. Having met Papyrus en route I know how grateful they are for your donations and how important they are. Thank you too for your amazing messages of support and encouragement which meant a great deal to me.
