Joe Sidebotham finishes the LEJOG ride!
- 4 Sept 2011
Congratulations to Joe, David, Peter and Helen for their fantastic achievement of completing Lands End to John O'Groats and to top it all have raised lots of money for Charity. Here is what Peter says:
"Just before two on Friday 2nd September, Joe, with David accompanying him, cycled in to John O’Groats, having covered nearly 1200 miles on his unicycle. It has been an eventful 3 weeks, and not quite as we had anticipated, but there was a great sense of achievement all round. I would like to thank all of you who have been so positive and encouraging – particularly for the many cards, emails and messages following my TIA on day 2 (I apologise for not having responded to all of you personally, but I have been behaving and following doctors’ orders to relax). This venture couldn’t have happened without all the support and encouragement of so many people, so thanks all round. Thank you also to all who have sponsored us – so far we have raised over £7,000 for the three charities (over £8,700 with gift aid). If you haven’t yet donated but would like to, you can give directly online to FSID or to Servants (just click on the hyperlinks), or contact me if you would like to donate to Spark in the Park, or prefer to give cash or a cheque. If you would like to read more about the journey, or see some of our photos, go to our blog.
I am taking next week off to further recover, but hope to be back, at least part time, from the 12th September."
