Over 1100 Miles for his Dad

No Caption Provided

Firstly thank you to PsEG for letting me post this. This is my best friend Ross. We have know each other for over 15 years and he is about to do something amazing and he needs our support. Since we were kids Ross has been hard working, determined and never let anything stand in the way of achieving his goals. Ever since I can remember he has always worked for the things he has, and is never one to let a debt he owes go unpaid. He is a stand up guy and that is why people like myself are spreading awareness of the incredible journey he is about to embark on.

What is this all about?

Brian, Ross’s Dad, has suffered from MS (Multiple Sclerosis) ever since Ross was a young kid and has been in a wheelchair since I can remember. He works for the local council and is very active in the local communities charities, whatever the cause. Recently his health has deteriorated and this has compelled Ross to do something for his father.

What is he doing?

In an event to raise awareness and funds for The Welwyn Hatfield Access Group (WHAG), a local charity run by disabled people for disabled people, he has decided to bike from the most northern point in the UK to the most Southern, and climb the three highest mountain peaks along the journey. This 1100 mile and 3400 meter (11,155 feet) colossal bike ride and climb will take him across 3 countries (Scotland, England and Wales), up three different mountains (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon) starting at John O’Groats and finishing in Lands End. Normally the bike ride and climb are done as two separate events as just climbing the mountains is enough to wear anyone out. He will be doing this crazy journey with two other guys and has been training vigorously. All of this taking place 30th June and due to take 15 days. He is looking to raise £3,500 GBP (approx $5,700 USD) and that is where you and I come in.

What can we do?

Unfortunately I am in no shape to take part in the event itself, so I have decided to help voice awareness and help get my friend sponsorship. I am asking that the Giantbomb Community do what they can to help. Whether that be by donating whatever you can afford or even spreading the word, as every little helps. My friend has set up a Facebook Group which I encourage you to join and have posted links to his donation page. I have created a flyer that holds more details as to what my friend is doing and created a poster to spread awareness. Feels feel free to spread the word and promotional items I have made.

Thank You for reading and your Support, the GB Community is amazing!
