James at the 2008 LeJog rally - Result

We made it!

Lands End - John O'Groats completed and £5,000 raised!

First of all I would like to thank everybody who has kindly donated towards this cause. I am delighted to say that together with my co-driver Richard Fearons, we have raised in excess of £5,000.

It was a very eventful four days and thankfully we overcame all the obstacles to finish and arrive in John O'Groats at 9.30am of Tuesday 9th December. This money will have a huge impact on the children and I therefore wish to convey thanks on their behalf.
