Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page :)

The Ultimate 150 Run & Cycle is the brainchild of my big brother Ross who has been coming up with all sorts of mental fundraising ideas in the past 12 months so we can create as much awareness and raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research UK. So this challenge is designed at pushing the Team to the peak of our physical and mental limits.  So what are we doing? Well we're cycling the West Highland Way and if that wasn't enough a further 55 miles to Broxburn, all in four days.  This is a test beyond anything i've ever done before!! But spare a thought for the crazy runners who'll be running the WHW - the equivalent of 4 marathons!

West Highland Way - this famous 96 mile trail undulates across countryside, hills, moors and moutains; while underfoot is a combination of country lanes, forest tracks and rocky, uneven and muddy loch and riverside paths. Its not really designed for cycling, so it's not going to be an easy task - in fact we cant afford to underestimate the fitness and levels of endurance required to see us through to the end.

Kelvin Walkway - under normal circumstances, this 9 mile cycle from Milngavie to the River Clyde, would be pretty straightforward, however, with 96 miles of cycling behind us, this won't be a walk in the park!

National Cycle Route 75 - the final stage will see us, and hopefully many more, cycle from Glasgow Green, for 45 miles to Bathgate, before taking the cycle path along the A89 to Broxburn, where we hope a crowd will be there to cheer us over line!! Hopefully with food and much needed drinks (and hugs!) 

So who are my fellow mentalists joining me from Fort William to Broxburn?

Ross Mackey, Kev Andrews, Michael Lynch, Tam Lynch, Ellie Forgan, Graeme (Mo) Morrison, Gary Sloan, Kenny Falconer, Gordon Newlands, David Gowans, Alan Gray, Graham McManus. We all hugely appreciate your support - we'll need every bit of it!

By simply visiting this page, you are helping so much.

Do you know anyone who might want to to join us on the cycle from Glasgow to West Lothian? After 3 gruelling days along the West Highland Way, we will be undoubtedly need support from family, friends and others to motivate us on to endure those final 45 miles..... 

On a personal note, cancer has affected my family so much over the years and I want to raise us much as I can for CRUK to continue their wonderful research so that future generation can live a life without having to worry about this life destroying disease.

Please join us in the fight against cancer.
