The Wild Atlantic Way

On Saturday 29th May, MCF trustee Simon Anderson is setting off on an epic 2000 mile cycle tour to raise funds for MCF. 

Simon will be setting off from the Shipley Bikery at 9.00am to complete the first leg of his journey from Shipley to Bikenhead to catch his overnight ferry to Belfast. Over the course of 27 days Simon will be covering around 2000 miles which is an average of 74 miles per day. 

Simon is covering all the costs of the trip himself so every penny raised in sponsorship will go to the charity.

If you would like to sponsor Simon his fundraising page is here.

In addition simon will be posting regular video updates on his you tube channel and will update the route on strava each day.
