Hi all,
Many Thanks to Lesley for letting me post this here.
Myself (Russell Turner) & my long time buddy Chris Blanchard have both been affected by Cancer. Chris lost his father, in 2007 I lost my Mother in law and last year my Brother in law was diagnosed with Stomach & Bone Cancer.
Having known Chris since I was about 17 we were chatting about going on a touring holiday. This all ended up as "The Long Way Home" move over Ewan & Charlie.... We will be riding our motorbikes around England, Scotland, Wales then back to London. This should take us around two weeks at roughly 300 miles per day. We are going to try and raise as much money as possible for Cancer Research so please help us raise loads by donating on the Just Giving web site.
Just Giving Long Way Home 2010
If you do donate and are a Tax payer they can reclaim tax back so I think this is the best way to donate. Also any donations are 100% guaranteed to go to our chosen charity. Cancer Research.
You can also keep up to date with our progress at
Myspace
Any help or ideas please contact me (Russ) at

The motorbikes we are going to be using are Honda Africa Twin's. XRV750's. All costs in our trip are coming out of our own pockets which is why we got these bikes. Good miles per gallon and they are supposed to be "bullet proof" I will keep you all informed.....
Many Thanks for reading this.
Best Wishes
Russ
