Tabrez completed his journey from Land's End to John O'Groats in eleven days raising a brilliant £3,631.87, including gift aid, for MAP!   "This was one of the greatest experiences of my life, and as I literally sped through it, it is only now that this small achievement is sinking in. The bigger feat was raising all this money from so many people – old and new friends, family and others who understand the cause and chose to donate. There are too many people to list, but along the 1000 miles, I was treated so well by everyone I met, especially in Northern Scotland where I got to appreciate the beautiful countryside and the wonderful nature of good people who want to help. This was also a huge mental challenge, and all the Twitter & Facebook messages along with the Blog followers really helped me get through this. Thank you and I hope we have all made a difference!" You can still sponsor him to support his efforts!
