A geography teacher from St Laurence School in Bradford on Avon will be cycling from Land’s End to John o’Groats as soon as the summer term ends to raise money for Cancer Research.
Will Penny, 31, sets off on Monday with his two friends from university, Chris Planchan and Dan Conaway, aiming to complete the challenge in nine days.
He said: “All of us have been affected by cancer in some way. We all like a challenge. I run marathons and Chris does the Iron Man, so we said let’s do it.”
Mr Penny has been preparing by cycling from his home in Bristol to school, and rides up to 100 miles at weekends.
The fundraisers, who have already raised £2,000, are looking for people to sponsor the fuel and people can call Mr Penny regarding this on 01225 309500.
