75 year old Devizes Lion Nick Seager said:

"I am cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats because I'm nuts and I want to!  

At 75 perhaps I should be thinking about taking it easy.  Right? 

Errr....No! 

I'm an active member of Devizes Lions, a vibrant local charity that raises funds to help support both needy individuals and  local charities.  

Fund raising for charities has been a massive challenge for over a year now.  I feel that I can help by raising money through this challenge.

Please donate whatever you can. 100% of the money
raised (including gift aid) will be used to support local charities.  I shall personally cover all my ride expenses.

Originally planned for May 2020 I'm now scheduled for a June 2nd start from Land’s End arriving in John O’Groats on June 25th.  I will mostly be cycling on my own and be self-supporting because of the times in which we’re living.  I'm OK for that challenge but your charitable contributions would definitely give me a boost!

Here's the planned route - 998 miles and 52,572 feet of climbing. That's kill or cure isn't it?!"
