WE, David Harris, and Keith Mottram, cycled from John O’Groats to Lands End to raise money for the Meningitus Trust.
My son Aaron caught meningitis at nine months old. Quick-thinking saved his life with antibiotics.
We started the trip on April 17 and finished at Lands End on April 25. We averaged 110 miles a day.
We had no help or support on the trip and we had not booked any accommodation in advance. I just had to stop off and try to find bed and breakfasts.
I would like to thank Leisure Lakes at Bury for sponsoring or collecting in buckets left in town.
We have raised around £2,300 to date.
