The pair are cycling 100 miles in a day this Sunday for St. Catherine's and Together For Short Lives.

Alan is raising money for Saint Catherine's and Together For Short Lives. He's so far raised £1250 from This Is The Coast listeners, friends and colleagues at Des Winks who organised a charity football match to boost donations.

Joining Alan on Sunday will be This Is The Coast's Paddy.

Also joining them is Henry Digby who will be offering technical support along the route. Alan gave Paddy this advice ahead of Sunday:
