A Pair of Idiots (for a pair of good causes)

I (along with fellow idiot, Dave Nelson) will be cycling from Land's End to John O' Groats unsupported over the course of 10 days at the end of May. We are riding in aid of two fantastic charities, mine being Sport Parkinson's, a wonderful organisation set up by my brother from another mother, Charlie Appleyard, and Dave for Finley's Touch, a cause very close to his heart. We hope to collectively raise a ton of cash for both charities, whilst also ensuring that we're under as much pressure as possible not to give up and go to the pub when either the hills or saddle sores really test us.

The ride is 1,000 miles over 10 days, departing from Land's End on 27th May and reaching John O' Groats on 5th June (hopefully!!), and we will be carrying all our stuff in pannier bags, just to make the hills more fun. We're covering all the costs of the trip ourselves, so 100% of all donations will go straight to the charities.

Sport Parkinson’s (www.sportparkinsons.com) is leading the charge for Parkinson's Disease (PD) battlers to “keep healthy and strong until a cure comes along" by staging events throughout the year to encourage people of all abilities, experience and PD progression to try new sports and exercise regimes, to find the courage to continue or re-start sports they may have given up, all in a safe, inclusive and welcoming environment.

Thanks for your support!!
