How many among us dream of cycling the length of mainland Britain, or have done it?
And how many among us have survived a life-changing event?
When life gives you a second chance, you seize it with both hands, and that’s exactly what our chairman Gary is doing right now. Together with his wife Rachel, they are cycling from Land’s End to John O’Groats. Not only is this a long-held ambition for them, it’s also a very personal way to give back to The Pituitary Foundation UK.
Gary is himself a pituitary patient (panhypopituitarism) and has been involved with the foundation for over 30 years. The Pituitary Foundation is a national UK charity, which is working to provide information and support to those living with pituitary disorders, including patients, their relatives, friends and carers.
After many months planning the route, getting in some practice rides, booking accommodation and so on, they set off from Land’s End on Sunday 9th July. By the time you read this, they will be well over half way!
