Two friends are going to cycle 963 miles as the seek to raise cash for Help for Heroes (H4H).<\/p>\n
Joe Sansom and Lee Shepherd are taking on the challenge of pedalling from Land's End to John O' Groats, the Hemsworth and South Elmsall Express reports.<\/p>\n
The pair – who have been inspired to do something for the charity after their friend Luke Farmer was killed in action – have set themselves the target of collecting £10,000.<\/p>\n
Mr Sansom said: "We have seen what is happening in Afghanistan and thought it was a way of remembering Luke, as well as raising money for the soldiers who are still serving there."<\/p>\n
They are planning to cycle around 100 miles a day in order to complete the challenge, which is much further than they have ever tried to go before.<\/p>\n
In order to properly prepare, the guys are undertaking a six-month training programme.<\/p>\n
