John & Anne Johnson Charity Bike Ride from Land's End to John o'Groats!

Date Added 22/07/2024

On Wednesday 24th July Anne and me are embarking on another big bike ride for charity. This time it’s the classic journey from Land’s End, the most south westerly tip of England, to John o Groats, the most north easterly tip of Scotland! Known as the ‘End to End’ or ‘LEJOG’ it’s a big challenge at 50 hilly miles per day and we are doing it unsupported on our tandem bike. Most importantly, we’ll be raising funds before and during the journey for the well-known charity, BBC’s Children in Need Appeal.

BBC Children in Need aims to ensure every child in the UK is happy, safe, and have the opportunities they need to reach their potential. The charity supports children and young people facing disadvantages such as poverty, disability, illness or trauma.

Our goal for this final epic fundraiser is £10,000 (it’s always good to have targets!) and we hope you’ll support us! Donations can be made via our JustGiving site, by clicking the link here, or by Bank Transfer to our Charity Account (Sort Code: 30 98 26 | Account No. 14242760). You can also hand your donation to our courier if you're on holiday with us.

We aim to complete our journey by Saturday 17th August, just in time for my 65th birthday.

We’ll share news and pictures on our Johnsons Facebook page or blog.

Best wishes, John and Anne Johnson.
