Bike
ride from John O'Groats to Lands End
 
Pat having legs waxed! Graham
Pat Adrian
I
am riding from John O'Groats to Lands End with two other
friends in July this year. We aim to cover the
approx. 1000 miles in 12 days.
I
intend raising money for facial cancer charities and
those charities offering services to bereaved children.
My
sister died in 1989 age 42 following a battle with
facial cancer. Margaret left two children.
I
was horrified by what the cancer did to Margaret and
also by what she had to endure with a good portion of
her face and mouth missing.
Sunday
24th July 2011... Day One!
We finished our first day today.
JUST BRILLIANT. Had
one big hill .. Thinking of Magaret got me up it
.
The

and temperature.... Get well soon Pat!
Thursday 4th
August... Last Day!
Hi
Christine, Julia
The last
day today! It's grey and raining .. But not in
our hearts. 53 miles left. We have so far
cycled 907 miles .. Climbed the equivalent of
38000 feet and burned a 46000 calories.
I've almost
reached my target of £1000 on JustGiving …. I
wish it could have been more for you guys. I
have another £82 to donate …… once I get to the
£1000 then my company will donate £200 .. So
hopefully I will have raised about £1300 for
you.
Best wishes
Pat
WELL
DONE...!

recently did a sponsored walk to raise funds for the
group. We did the walk in conjunction with
Maggie's, they are raising money to build a centre
here later this year, we intend to meet there once the
building is up and running. 24 people took part,
including patients, carers, family and friends.
A well earned
