Land’s End to John O’Groats

Weymouth based Magpie Alan Hargreaves and his wife Debra is planning an extraordinary journey for charity this summer.The couple are very keen cyclists as it is, but this journey is on a slightly different level to Weymuff’s usual 14 mile commute to work on his bike every day.

Their plan is to cycle the length of Britain from Land’s End in deepest Cornwall to John O-Groats, right at the top of Scotland. A trek of over 990 miles!

Two weeks have been scheduled for the journey starting on 28th June 2015, with the plan being to average 75 miles per day.

They are doing this trip to raise money for Pancreatic Cancer UK, in memory of Wilf Hargreaves, who sadly passed away in August of last year.

Pancreatic Cancer has the lowest survival rate of any cancer, and the charity tries to make a difference by providing information and support to those who are affected by the disease, and funding vital research which goes into helping find a cure for this horrible disease.

Alan and his wife are hoping to raise at least £500 from their venture, and so far they have raised £235 since opening their fundraising page.

It’d be fantastic if the Notts County family could help them towards their target, and any donations - no matter how big or small, will be gratefully accepted, and would be a massive help.

The link to Alan & Debra’s fundraising page can be found below, and it includes regular updates on their preparations and training, as well as further information about their chosen charity, and of course information on how to donate.

Please take the time to visit their page and make a donation if you can to support a fellow fan.

Good luck Weymuff. Be sure to give it a big “You Pies” when you cross the finish line.
