Not professional cyclists and certainly not professional models

Hello  ...  We are at it again, toddling off on our bikes from John O’Groats to Lands End, 1000 miles in 10 days, this time in aid of: -

The 25th East Coast Truckers Children’s Convoy

Each year, East Coast Truckers take children in a convoy of their trucks to the seaside and other attractions. As you can imagine, each year it becomes harder to raise funds. The children adore the ride and the destinations together with other outings during the year. One hundred trucks will take part this year, which is the convoy’s silver jubilee event. Each truck carries a special child in the passenger seat. It is always quite a spectacle. Seeing really is believing; the world’s largest and longest running children’s convoy. ‘Lycra Man’ and ‘Sparkle’ are old friends from the days they drove together with Securicor Omega Logistics and are both members of the East Coast Truckers’ Charity. They both enjoy doing the convoy so much they decided they wanted to give something back.

In 2008, through your generosity £10,000 was donated from our ride to The Chapel Road School in Attleborough so that children with special needs were able to go to Disneyland Paris. Thank you. This year’s ride requires immense support too.

Thank you for visiting our site, please explore it and read about this year’s participants. As before, the ‘Blog of the ride’ on our ‘My Charity Page’ will be updated every evening (connections permitting!).
