Around Britain Charity Ride - Facing Up 2 Kidney Cancer

[JWF]

On June 6th at noon from the Comedy Carpet in Blackpool, terminally ill kidney cancer patient Jon Birchall will set off on a solo motorbike ride around mainland Great Britain under the banner, Facing Up 2 Kidney Cancer. Jon is doing this on his Yamaha FJ1200 to raise awareness of early detection of kidney cancer and to raise £50,000 for research into treatments.
Come and join in the start or any part of his ride. More info and the route is available at https://www.facingup2kidneycancer.org . Jon has been given 30 months to live and he wants to spend a lot of that time on his bike and he would love you to join in!

I'd do a coastal tour of the UK in 5 days if someone wants to pay me for the jolly.
