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.
