Duncan Lonie, from Edinburgh, cycled from Land's End to John o' Groats in September this year to raise funds for Friends of ANCHOR. In total his pedal power saw him cycle 940 miles in 9.5 days with only two punctures and apparently he burnt on average 6000 calories a day. He has raised the amazing sum of £2,882 with additional sponsorship to follow. Absolutely brilliant Duncan and a huge thank you for your tremendous effort. Thanks also to all Duncan's very generous sponsors.
