Tom Hopkins and Sarah Monk from Brighton will cycle 1000 miles from Brighton to Barcelona to raise money for the Cedar Centre School.

Sarah said: “We'll endure leg ache through the Pyrenees, head winds through the flat plains and all kinds of weather. Armed with our tiny tents and small cookers, we'll live for four weeks from the backs of our bikes.”

The Cedar School is part of the Brighton and Hove Special Schools Federation which offers specialist help to children with a variety of complex needs.

They have set up a website which will teach the children about the cultural sites encountered along the route; as well as keeping track of their progress.
