UK 3D

Ahoy to you all, and welcome to the UK3D challenge!

In September of this year Andy Blackburn (K 99-06), Alex Gibbons (K 99-06) and George Clarke (Os 97-07) will be completing the length, breadth and height of the UK by bike and foot to raise money for St. Richard's Hospice in Worcestershire.

First we will bike Land's End to John O' Groats (the length of UK), where George will have to leave usto finish his final year of University (always an excuse!).Andy andGibbowill then complete the 3 peaks challenge (height of the UK), and walk the Wainwright coast to coast trail (breadth of UK). All of these challenges are pretty hardcore in themselves, but to do them back to back is SUPER HARDCORE, and will be a massive challenge!

We are raising money in memory of Roger and Stella Blackburn, and donating to St. Richard's Hospice who helped both of them and their family through their recent battles with cancer. The hospice relies on donations to continue its great work, and we all felt it was the least we could do to give something back. So PLEASE dig deep, and give what you can, even if it's a penny and a few words of support!

You can donate by contacting any of us, or online at www.justgiving.com/uk3d

We will be keeping in touch via facebook at http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/group.php?gid=104905266228354&v=info, and setting up a blog (details to follow) so please keep looking in!

Also, if you have a spare sofa anywhere along our route this would be massively appreciated! We will be posting our route on the facebook page in the next few weeks!

Finally, if there are any companies or super kind individuals out there who are interested in sponsoring our kit and the expedition, !

Much love,

Andy, Gibbo and George
