    Me and the wife are planning a bike ride on the TPT towards Hull for MacMillan. It sounds like they really need some money fast.

    Oh my word, you absolute stars, thank you so much! Definitely past the £100 target now! I posted here as I was well short after numerous Facebook posts, but the BBS has come to my rescue. I cannot thank you all enough.

    I have literally just come home after my final 3 miles and seen this, it's absolutely made my day. That was the hardest 3 miles of the challenge, but all made worthwhile now.

    Thank you so much!

    Just seen this buddy. Absolute angels the MacMillan lot. Sadly this will be known to most of us for a personal reason or two.

    Chucked a fiver in mate, sailed past two hundred now.

    Thank you so much mate, that's fantastic! I'll be honest, this thread has opened my eyes as to how loved Macmillan are. So glad I did the challenge, but so glad to have finished it 3 days early!

    Thanks again so much to you and everyone who has contributed.

    Thanks mate, appreciate that! However it gets to them makes no difference to me, as long as they get something I'm happy.

    One of mi associates up ere in Brid has recently been diagnosed with tongue cancer, was at York yesterday aving his teeth removed, part of the process, apparently they are or will make him a new tongue from flesh from his thigh once the tongue is removed, amazing what can be done.
