Default 1k charity ride of uk coast(macmillan) please read

hi guys i have nt been back on this forum for long but i really need some help
myself and 2 others are planning to do a charity ride of just over 1200 miles around the east, south and west coast of the uk,
what we need are sponsors and beds if you live on the coast
even if you have just got somewere safe to put our bikes and a place to pitch a tent it wouyld be extremely grateful
it a well known fact that cancer affects 1 in 3 people in some way, and it has all 3 of us that are riding personally i have lost 4 family members to the illness and one of them was only 30,
macmillan was the first call when my family became ill and they did a great job of taking care of them in there own homes and when they went into the macmillan suite. if you can help in anyway or you want to join us on this task then please get in touch either through this website or by emailling me direct, roythornton01@hotmail.co.uk

Is the UK, Upper Kansas? Just kidding, but I do wish you bloaks good luck on your trip and I wish I could help. If you ever do a stateside ride, you are welcome here in Ohio at my place. Just dont come in the winter or you will freeze your bloody ***** off.
Ride safe brothers.
