The Challenge

On the 26th of June this year, 10 riders will form Team Le-Jog and set off on an epic cycle trip from Lands End to John O’Groats. This would normally be tackled in 14 days, but everyone in Team Le-Jog will complete the 890 miles in just 7 days, hoping to raise in excess of £20,000 for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.

Why?

Two main reasons; firstly, it has something to do with the mid-life nature of our ages; we’re all in the crisis zone! Secondly, as almost all of the team have been touched in some way by those effected with Diabetes, we thought raising cash for the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation, set up to find a cure for Type 1 Diabetes, might be a good way of motivating the team to finish.

As well as supporting JDRF, one of our team members is a Type 1 diabetic who will face the additional challenge of monitoring and controlling his sugar levels throughout the ride.

How you can help?

If you’d like to support our cause, we’d be extremely grateful for your help. To make a personal contribution or take advantage of our corporate sponsorship packages, please visit our fundraising section at www.teamlejog.co.uk.
