Long Neigh Up


Welcome to the home of the Long Neigh Up On the 8th of July 2010 Ed Coleman and Julian Morris set off in a successful attempt to cycle from Lands End to John O'Groats unsupported in just 9 days. Raising money for Macmillan Cancer Support and Spinal Research. We would like to personally thank everyone who has supported, sponsored and followed the Long Neigh Up.

Macmillan Cancer Support - Donate Now Our close friend and cycling companion Shaun was diagnosed with cancer in 2007. He was a founder member of our informal cycling group known as the White Horse Riders who go on regular Sunday rides over Salisbury plain and through the Wiltshire countryside. Sadly Shaun recently lost his long term battle with kidney cancer on the 16th April. He will be remembered not only for his never give up attitude, before and during his fight against cancer but most of all his friendship. He has been and will continue to be missed on all our rides but is still with us in spirit. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family at this most tragic time. Macmillan Cancer Support provided support and comfort to Shaun and his family. We have chosen to support Macmillan Cancer Support to help others affected by this terrible illness.
Spinal Research - Donate Now Sam Puttick was just 16 months old, when he was involved in a terrible car accident. The injuries he incurred to his spinal-cord meant he was unable to feel or move from the neck down and was dependent on a ventilator for his breathing. In May 2009 Sam contracted meningitis, and he died at home aged only five. Sam's parents Neil and Kazumi could not live without him, and took their own lives shortly after. Having known the family we were deeply moved by the sequence of events that lead to the family's tragic end, and wanted to do something to offer hope to those in the same situation as dear little Sam.
Please use the links above or below to make secure online donations via Justgiving We have had to set up separate fundraising pages for each charity because of the way Gift Aid declarations are handled. Feel free to choose the charity you'd like to support or alternatively split your desired donation between the two. Many thanks, Ed and Julian.
