Cycle from Lands End to John 'o' Groats

Martyn Allan a trainee Flight observer and Alistair Mckean a Leading Engineering technician in the Royal Navy, will attempt to cycle from Lands End to John O'Groats in 7 days covering around 900 miles, the cycle will take place on the 15th of August as a means to raise money for Breakthrough Breast cancer research and make more women aware of the charity and the wonderful work they do. 'Wilma' Martyn's mum was diagnosed with cancer just before Christmas and as a wedding gift we decided to complete the cycle and raise money for her and the charity she supports so passionately. We have created a website to allow friends and family to join us on our adventure covering the length of Britain, blogs and pictures will be added daily and a link to JustGiving for any donations that are made through our page. Martyn and myself along with our loyal support team Kelle Love and Claire Richie would like to thank you all for your support and hope that you will visit our site and join us on our trip....
