Veterinary Nurse Angela Savory from Companion Care Vets in Norwich is in training for a gruelling 874 mile cycle from Lands End to John o'Groats, through which she aims to help raise £50,000 for the company's charity of the year, Dogs for the Disabled.

As part of a team of 15, Angela has been training hard for the trip which is estimated to take between ten and fourteen days. She says it is pretty daunting especially as the start date of 1st May is fast approaching.

Angela said: "Dogs for the Disabled is an amazing charity that really does transform lives so when the opportunity arose for me to get involved I jumped at the chance. Whilst I won't pretend it won't be a challenge of monumental proportions we are all determined to raise as much money as possible and have lots of fun along the way.

"We are all blogging about our training regimes and fundraising efforts and ask for as much support as possible for a fantastic cause. Visit http://www.ccvetscycleride.blogspot.com/ to see how our training is going - we also share lots about our excitement and fears..... and pain.... honestly quite a lot of pain!"

Dogs for the Disabled is life-transforming charity that creates exceptional partnerships between people living with disability and specially trained assistance dogs. To find out more, visit http://www.dogsforthedisabled.org/
