CoastaLea - Starting on the 16th June 2012, Richard and Gary are riding the coast of Great Britain in aid of the Leah Wilby Foundation.
 
The Leah Wilby Foundation (reg charity No 1146160) was set up in Leah's memory, who lost her seven year fight with Neuroblastoma on the 13th of June, 2011 at 8.25pm, just four weeks before her 16th Birthday.
 
The objectives and purposes of the charity is to provide holiday accommodation to families supporting young people in the UK suffering from childhood cancer. They have named the caravan Leah's Lounge.
 
 Leah's dad Richard and family friend Gary are starting the 14 day, 4,000 mile ride from the Haven Seashore Park, North Denes, Great Yarmouth, at 10am, where Leah's lounge is situated.
 
Heading North they will be riding as close to the coast as is possible, with no support. Just two men on two bikes, with a couple of tents, with no sense of direction and covering 4,000 miles in fourteen days... what could possibly go wrong?

The route will take them via Skegness, Scarborough, Berwick-upon-tweed, Aberdeen,  John O'Groats, Wester Ross, Portnacroish, Wigtownshire, Carlisle, Barrow-in-Furness, Preston, Rhyl, Abersoch, Pwllheli, Tenby, Swansea, Weston-super-mare, Barnstable, Cornwall, Plymouth, Torquay, Bournemouth, Brighton, Beachy head, Dover, Ramsgate, Margate, Felixstowe, Lowerstoft and back to Great Yarmouth at Leah's Lounge on the 29th June.

Richard and Gary are also looking for a company who would be willing to help with the fuel cost. Any company who can help would have their name or logo printed on the jackets and thanked on all press releases. They are also looking for normal sponsorship.
