My challenge is to ride my bike to every C of E cathedral in England in 2015. I'm doing this in memory of my brother Allister who passed away in 2008. I hope to raise as much money as I can for the charity Rethink, which supports people with serious mental health problems and their families. 

There are 42 cathedrals on my list stretching from Newcastle and Carlisle in the north to Canterbury and Truro in the south. I live in Oakham, Rutland and hope to do this in a number of trips taking in any number of cathedrals in each trip. 

I will cycle all return journeys too, no cars or public transport allowed! Total distance depends on final routes but I think I will need to cover about 2500 miles in all to do this!

I set this challenge in memory of my brother Allister, a fun-loving, friendly guy who loved life but unfortunately suffered with mental health problems for many years. Sadly, these problems overcame him and he died from a drug overdose in 2008. He was 32.

Some of my cycling friends will be joining me on my trips and I urge you to support them as they support me. Ultimately, I hope that doing this will go some way to helping other people who have to deal with the very difficult issue of mental health problems.

You can choose to make one total donation or maybe a donation based on each cathedral visit? It's up to you, but I can assure you that every penny donated will help me to keep pedalling!

Thanks for your support!
