tony tt Posted August 29, 2015 Share Posted August 29, 2015 The Short Way Down Hi guys, I don't normally put post like this up , but as some of you may be aware from Facebook I am doing a motorbike trek round the North of Scotland and then down from John O' Groats through England and Wales ending in lands end, the most southern part of the UK.Unfortunaly I am doing this a pair of mugs, namely my brother in law and my life long mate. we are doing this out of our own pockets and are totally self funded. I would like to raise some funding to go towards a fantastic charity. The Lily foundation is charity that supports children who suffer from Mitochondrial Disease. This is a brutal and often under funded disease that escape the public gaze. If you are unaware of what this is I have enclosed a link to their website. This gives more information but all I need to say is this is a disease that destroys the lives of many children and their families. http://www.thelilyfoundation.org.uk/mitochondrial-disease My friends and I have seen the faces of many of these children that have unfortunately not survived this disease and simply put, it's heartbreaking. I would like to raise anything I can for this good cause and you can help by providing a small donation, believe me it is money well spent. Thank you. I will put the just giving link up for those of you who wish to donate funds.....Anyone else with a business or a tech firm who wish to get behind this and wish to support us, either through stickers for the bikes or toys for the kids we can hand out on the way please let me know and we will be in touch. Thanks for reading folks. Link added https://www.justgiving.com/Peter-Brownsmith/?utm_id=36 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tony tt Posted August 29, 2015 Author Share Posted August 29, 2015 This is being shared on the Police Scotland Twitter page and also shared by some staff that work for national geographic. With any luck a decent amount of money can be raised. Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tony tt Posted September 23, 2015 Author Share Posted September 23, 2015 Thanks to the few members that kindly helped with donations towards the charity trip. Got home last night after riding from Lands End to Aberdeen in one hit. Awesome trip. Plan another in May for charity but not sure where yet. Thanks again. Sorry to Malcolm and Karen that we missed you the times were a bit of a hit and miss for us. Next time I'll invest in a proper tent. This was a huge challenge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
