Scrolling Clouds

Every year, more than 28,000 people in the UK are diagnosed with a blood-related cancer. That’s why we’re cycling from John O’Groats to Lands End this summer to raise money for Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research – the only UK charity solely dedicated to research into blood cancers.

The Start - June 2010

Well today we went bowling and I announced that I wanted to do something different for my 40th year and I came up with a charity cycle ride from John O’Groats to Lands End. I stupidly thought that it would be about 500 miles, so when I Googled it whilst waiting for my turn I was very surprised to see it was way further than that at about 950! Shocked was an understatement but not for one minute did I consider changing my mind.

Our day bowling was great and we discussed how I would do this and also how hard it would be. The next big question of course was who would I do it with? But a friend of mine came to mind straight away – Anthony Clarke.

A word from Leukaemia & Lymphoma Research.

Hi :-)

I’ve have been know in the past to take part in one or two of these daft schemes. (but nothing this BIG!) so when Sharon had the idea who should she pick on?   read more...
