Exciting tandem news.
After a few weeks of rest, Mark and I have exciting tandem news.
In July 2026 we are pedalling Land's End to John O' Groats on Trudie our Tandem.
I won't lie the last few years raising for different charities not related to Nanna has been tough, it taught me I used tandeming to cope with loss and struggled not pedalling in my beautiful Nanna's memory.
Land's End to John O' Groats will be the hardest thing we have done so it's only fitting and right that it's for Nanna and raising in her memory for St Ann's Hospice.
St Ann's Hospice is a charity which cares for thousands of local people with cancer and non-cancer life-limiting illnesses every year. They cared for my Nanna Gertrude in 2015 giving her blood transfusions and meals / moral support to help manage bowel and kidney cancer and Alzheimer's. They also nursed my additional grandmother, Annie in her final days offering end of life care in 2007. Annie passed away peacefully and with dignity there in June 2007. We want to thank them for all their love and support caring for these 2 amazing women 💜
In 2026 we are doing Land's End to John O'Groats in 14 days on our tandem from 18th July to 2nd August 2026.
I would love it if everyone can support us early to support some of the crazy training we will have to do. This year we will train throughout winter and the summer to maintain fitness and try to get used to getting back on our Trudie tandem day after day. While this will be tough it's also a bucket list experience and we hope to enjoy it as much as possible.
