Mark Dunlop - a friend and colleague at work - is going to Cycle for Euan

At the end of June 2002 I plan to cycle from Portpatrick (SW corner of Scotland) to John O'Groats (NE corner). Although it cannot be denied I am doing this for the good of my health, the main aim is to remember Euan and raise sponsorship for The Meningitis Trust.

I will head off from Portpatrick on Friday 21 June and hopefully reach John O'Groats by Tuesday 2 July averaging just under 50 miles per day. The route I will take follows the national cycle routes and will cover just over 500 miles.

Euan was Mark's baby son who tragically died of meningitis on 23rd December, 2001.

Mark's sponsorship target is £1000. I think he should achieve that easily as everyone in the department was so badly affected when they heard the news after returning to work after the Christmas break.

Please help by sponsoring Mark.
