I'm helping to organise a charity motorbike ride from Land's End to John O'Groats - in one day - in aid of Cancer Research UK and the Oncology Department of my local hospital.

HeavenCanWait is the website - please feel free to take a look and let us know if there's anything you might be able to add to the event; we're open to suggestion - and offers - and always on the look out for unique ways to increase fund raising.

I know that we are 'just another' charity and that money is always hard to come by, but if you can spare a bob or two, then the JustGiving page is here HEAVEN CAN WAIT

If you have a spare penny in your PayPal account, we also offer that as an option.

There are many other ways you might be able to help too.

The event's brainchild is Kevin Gent, an Ambulance Technician who was diagnosed with Thymic cancer in 2005. He lost his right lung and this has obviously had a big impact on his life, and that of his family. He was previously an avid marathon runner and mountaineer, details are on the site. He has worked hard to regain a good level of fitness and is now back serving the community once again.

Having to be very careful not to push too hard, thoughts turned to another passion - motorbikes. The ride is well planned and should take around 20 hours, so there's scope to allow for traffic jams and diverts if necessary!

There will be details published in the Motorcycle Sport and Leisure magazine from 6th June about how one lucky 'Joe public' can join us - buy the mag or visit the site from 6th June to find out more.
