Neil decided shortly after this tragic loss that he was going to do something to help try and raise funds for Cancer research. The challenge has been to journey from John O Groats to Lands End through cycling, canoeing, Walking and finally by sea kayaking from Falmouth’s Maenporth beach to Sennen Cove, he hopes to arrive there by Wednesday of this week. He will then be making the final walk from Sennen beach to Lands End along the coastal footpath. Nigel is going to be accompanied on this final leg by Simon. Since setting out Neil has managed to so far raise £14,000 and he is hoping to reach a target of £30,000 to pass over to Cancer research at the end of his journey. 
You can read more about Neil’s challenge by looking at the following web site:
I believe that Linda would approve of what I am taking on and I hope that the monies raised will help Cancer Research UK in their work of finding a cure for cancer and Sobell House to continue to offer the care, comfort and support that Linda and the family valued so much in her final days’.

Good on ya Neil,
Everybody does something for himself to make a difference.
Like I said: I do it my way!
And off I went.
A good way to help people and paddle at the same time.
