Matt and Will have completed their Epic Journey and managed to raise £36,000! for their respective charities.

The 10 Days Story

Matt is raising money to buy vital equipment for the Neonatal Unit at St George’s Hospital in Tooting which cares for sick and premature babies (Friends of the Neonatal Unit).

Will is cycling to raise money for The Royal Marsden Cancer Campaign, with funds specifically going to help finance research into the causes and treatment of brain tumors.

Previous “end to enders”

The first recorded “end to end” journey was by a Cornishman called Robert Carlyle who pushed a wheelbarrow from Land’s End to John O’Groats in 1879. The fastest ever cycle trip was completed by Gethin Butler in 2001 in one day and 20 hours. And Stephen Gough, The Naked Rambler, has walked the “end to end” twice, resulting in several jail terms.

You’ll be relieved to know that Will and Matt will be doing it fully clothed and expect to complete the 956 mile trip in ten days (averaging an impressive 96 miles a day).
