Holbeach man Kev gears up for charity ride

A Holbeach motorbike enthusiast is set to ride the entire length of the British Isles in just one day raising money for two charities.

In May, Kev Howard is to ride his 1250 Suzuki 800 miles from John O’Groats to Lands’ End within 24 hours.

He’s doing it for the Holbeach and East Elloe Hospital Trust and Macmillan Cancer Support.

Kev’s daughter Millie Howard works at the hospital and suggested the feat as a personal goal.

Kev commented: “This is something that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Previously I have made the journey camping along the way but I thought I would set myself the challenge to do it in just one day.

“It was my daughter who suggested raising money for charity at the same time.

“Through my own experiences I know the good work that both charities do.”

Anyone wants to donate to support Kev, they can do so on the gofundme website https://www.gofundme.com/jogle-in-a-day or click the link on Holbeach Hospital’s website or Facebook page
