The challenge will help Mavis Paterson cope with losing all three of her children in four years.
Macmillan Cancer SupportShe had fundraised for the charity for almost 20 years, cycling across Canada and undertaking other stunts such as abseiling and 24-hour cycle rides.But it was her "unimaginable grief" at losing all of her children that pushed her to cycle the length of Britain, raising £75,000 for Macmillan Cancer Support and securing a Guinness World Record in the process.She grew up with a love of running but switched to cycling in her fifties to spare her knees.
Mave's latest challenge begins on Saturday and she will make her way up the west coast, down the east and back to Mull of Galloway by 28 May. Bruce Port, Macmillan's fundraising manager said: "Mavis is incredible. The challenges she sets herself are astounding and she has achieved some incredible things to raise money for Macmillan.
