Hi fellow reds.

On April 13th, 14th and 15th 2012, I'll be riding my bike 260 miles from my home in Bungay, Suffolk to Anfield, via Hillsborough.

I'm riding in the memory of the 96 Liverpool FC fans who died in the Hillsborough stadium disaster, and to raise money for the Hillsborough Justice Campaign (HJC), Hillsborough Family Support Group (HFSG), and the Jamie Carragher 23 Foundation.

More details about the event, and why I'm doing it can be found on the official page here:

The full route over the 3 days can be found here:

With only a few short weeks remaining before the ride, I'm desperately seeking help in getting sponsors and spreading the word about the ride.

Some more links:

- Sponsorship page: http://www.justgiving.com/rideforhillsborough

Anything you can do to help raise awareness or help get closer to the sponsorhip target would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, YNWA!

Hey mate

Im really sorry I only got this message today.

Back home now.
Was a very challenging and emotional three days, especially the second day, laying the wreath at hillsborough, and the final day arriving at Anfield and walking round to the memorial with HJC.

Will get lots of pics and a more detailed write up on the site soon.

The justgiving page is goping to stay open for a while so please keep spreading the word and trying to get people to sponsor.
