Mark’s Luton Town Premier Pedal Challenge…

Mark has raised £27,000 over the past 2 years through his cycling challenges. We’re delighted that he has chosen to support Mind BLMK this year.

During Luton Town’s last season, Mark cycled to 116 football clubs in 34 days – a total of 2,500 miles. He told himself that this would be his last challenge, but after Luton Town’s huge success in reaching the Premiership League, Mark knew that this season’s challenge would allow him to visit some of the UK’s most prestigious football grounds.
