On 24 August I’ll be taking part in the Great North Bike Ride.

It’s a lovely coastal route that takes in some wonderful Northumberland countryside, but more importantly raises much-needed money for a cancer charity.

The event was first held 14 years ago and you can read a bit about what it means and why it started here: http://www.greatnorthbikeride.com/Home/History.html

Cancer touches so many lives these days, so I’ve decided to try and do my bit by doing the ride for a bit of sponsorship.

If you can spare even a couple of pounds it all helps and will be gratefully received. You can read my story and sponsor me here: https://www.justgiving.com/ross-wigham/

All money goes to the Chris Lucas Trust to help fight childhood cancer:  http://www.chrislucastrust.com/

Thanks to everyone who has already contributed – wish me luck!
