However, Woody’s closest friend, Ross Stephenson, prefers football and golf, and is new to cycling. He said: “I’m genuinely honoured to have the opportunity to do this amazing challenge in memory of the greatest man and closest friend I had the pleasure of knowing. It will truly test all of our physical and mental strength much like Paul Woodland did, day in day out throughout his amazing career with the Royal Marines. Hopefully we can raise a lot of money for two great causes and to top it all off I get to do it with three great blokes who have their own amazing achievements and experiences that I can learn a lot from”.

 

Scott Jenkins said: “Sian (Paul’s fiancé) had asked if I would do a challenge to help raise funds for Woody’s charity. It was great timing as I was already thinking the same. Then out of the blue, Shaun emailed and asked if I was still keen to cycle Point to Point. It was all too coincidental that we couldn’t possibly not embark on the challenge. I just hope that by doing something that tests us even more so than each of our previous challenges, the little added extra of sleep deprivation, that it might just encourage people to dig deep and donate to Woody’s charity”.

 

Rhys adds: “I want to look back on my life knowing I made a difference and I can say – I did that. Nothing feels better than knowing that you were able to help someone less fortunate than yourself. The challenge is a bitter sweet one for us and the reason for doing it is one I wish neither of us had.”

Serving-Marine Lewis Earls said: “I’m so pleased that we have been able to come together to support such fantastic causes, both of which are very close to me. This challenge is about trying to help, trying to make a difference and what better way to do it. It’s going to be hard but it is going to epic at the same time. Our sponsors are making it slightly easier than it could have been – which is great! Taylors International have helped massively by supplying the food (we are going to be a very hungry group of guys) and Matrix and Shuttr Velo with bikes and kit. It’s nice companies want to help us achieve this challenge”.
