PrintPhil Upton will bike 300 miles!
BBC WM's Phil Upton is about to embark on a bike ride of over 300 miles to France to raise money for MS sufferers.
Phil - along with 19 neighbours from his home village of Claverdon in Warwickshire - sets out on Tuesday 1st July 2008 for a four day bike ride to Paris.
They're aiming to raise money for The MS Trust, the charity which works with and for the 85,000 people in the UK diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis.
Multiple Sclerosis is a disease which affects the central nervous system and can result in physical and cognitive disabilities. The disease is more common in women than men.
LEJOG Cycle 2008
In November 2006, 10 of the 14 member LEJOG Cycle 2008 team met for the first time as they cycled from Lake Titicaca to Machu Picchu on a Macmillan Peru Bike Challenge. It was during this amazing trip that the idea to do the ultimate UK bike ride was formed: to spend 11 days cycling the entire length of the beautiful and diverse country that we all live in, at the same time physically challenging ourselves more than any of us have done before, raising money for an extremely worthwhile cause - Macmillan Cancer Support - and enjoying being part of a fantastic team. With a couple of 'big' birthdays during May/June 2008 for members of the group needing to be marked in some way, that was all the motivation that was needed to start the route planning.
