The Riders & Charities

Paul Jennings (Jenko) - Team Captain, Organiser, supplier of driver

Chosen charity: 'Farm Africa'.  They have a very simple belief: that Africa has the power to feed itself.  The charity works directly with farmers to help them unleash their potential to feed Africa’s people.  They also pioneer techniques that boost harvests, reduce poverty, sustain natural resources and help end Africa’s need for aid.  www.justgiving.com/Paul-Jennings-LeJog





Ben Still (Stilly) - Team Caravan (mostly located at the back being towed)

Chosen Charity: Christie NHS Foundation.  In memory of my father in law and good friend, Derrick Lyon, I hope to raise some funds for the Christie NHS Foundation. Sadly Derrick passed away earlier this year following a long fight with prostate cancer during which Christie’s provided the highest quality care together with the most advanced treatments. Derrick was very appreciative of the support Christies gave him and certainly benefited having been initially diagnosed in 1998. www.justgiving.com/Ben-Still 


Kit Ebben - Team Archivist and Stroy teller (they have to be heard to be believed)

Chosen Charity: Prostate Cancer UK. Prostate Cancer has impacted my family and some close friends. It is the most common cancer diagnosed in men in the UK and cases are increasing year on year. uk.virginmoneygiving.com/KitEbben






Martin Jones (Jelly)- Professional Tourist (we're not really sure and neither is he!)

Turns out he's the team climber. Everyone disgusted and impressed at the speed he passed all on the hills in Cornwall. Still crap down hill though!








Lucy Jenning - Team Driver (Support vechicle and angel)

Chosen Charity: All of the Above. Lucy is driving the team van the lenght of the country twice during our ride. Not only is she giving up 10.5 days of her holiday, she will also be on the road on her 10 wedding aniversery. Easily commanding total respect I doubt she will find it on this trip!!
