Will's Coast and Castles Cycle for Ducks & Drakes Cancer Trust

Will Blight is taking on a huge challenge to raise funds for Ducks & Drakes Cancer Trust. Please sponsor him via his JustGiving page

"My name is Will Blight and I live in Melcombe Bingham, in Dorset. This year I'm going to cycle, unsupported, around the entire coast of England, Wales and Scotland (including many of the Scottish Islands) all in aid of Ducks & Drakes. 
And I've given myself the task of visiting as many castles as I can on the coast (plus inland to a degree at my discretion), to make it more interesting!

I'm calling it: Coast and Castles Cycle for Ducks & Drakes Cancer Trust - this is also the name of the Facebook Page I have set up.

For those that don't know, Ducks & Drakes is a Cancer trust here in Dorset, run by volunteers, that supports youths diagnosed with bowel cancer and are going through difficult times. They could not help without the generosity of fundraisers and their supporters.

Though a long time ago now, I have done this sort of trip before - twice! In 2004 and 2006 I went clockwise and anticlockwise respectively. Going to all the RNLI Lifeboat Stations in the UK, on that second trip, was a challenge and a half! As I have discovered, my bike and trailer combination gets noticed a lot, because it is rather unusual.

I'm planning to leave on 26th March and my official send-off will probably be in Dorchester. I just need to confirm a few things first."

Thank you Will for your support!!
