Thanks to all the support that we have received helping us with all the things that we needed to organise the ride we can now guarantee that all the donations received will be going entirely to the Cystic Fibrosis Trust.

We will be looking for pledges to be collected after the ride, we have sponsorship forms where you can sponsor an individual rider, we will be shaking collection cans at strategic points along the route and dreaming up other ways of collecting money.

You can send donations to Sam Cann at Thorne Farm, Cheriton Bishop, Exeter, Devon, EX6 6HA making the cheque payable to CF3. Alternatively donations can be made by bank transfer to CF3's account at Nat West sort code 52-30-06 account number 13489313. We are attempting to find an simple way to accept donations by credit card on this site. If you would like to contribute in other ways please contact Sam.

We are hoping to raise significant funds for the Cystic Fibrosis Trust, to do this we will be seeking maximum media coverage - this means that anyone who gives us substantial assistance will be seen on tv, local press and the web. We have already appeared on the TV, been interviewed on radio and there have been numerous press articles. As we are attempting to break the record for the youngest cyclist to ride from John O'Groats to Lands End we do expect to be able to get genuine media coverage.

We have purchased a high sided van to use as a support vehicle. We will be putting a highly visible list of major sponsors and significant donations on the sides.

With the breakthroughs that are being made in genetics a genuine cure for this condition is on the horizon. The more funds that can be raised to investigate the causes the sooner a cure will be found. Your donation will help pay for this research.
