Many thanks to all those who have already donated - please pass it on to yourt friends!
Spirits remain high along the road from Land's End to John O'Groats. The B#1 team are well on their way to Preston from Shrewsbury on the 4th leg of their adventure.
The gold medal school visits are proving very popular with the children - Teachers, you can get an athlete to visit your school by registering at www.benumber1.co.uk/SCHOOLS.
Sadly, though, it appears that Jason Gill has had to abandon his attempt to break the record for hand cycling the route - the hills come early in the journey and they come hard. . .
Tody is the day - weather permitting - that Nick Dempsey and the team set off from Land's End on their 9 day adventure to John O'Groats, aiming to raise £100000 for the British Heart Foundation. . .
Kevin Carr is underway in his attempt to run from Land's End to John O'Groats and on June 9th Robin Simpson - the world's fittest athlete - will start his attempt to break the record from John O'Groats to Land's End and back.
