A pub manager from Suffolk is going to undertake a challenge cycling from one coast in the east, to another in the west of the UK, to help his sister.
Phillip Bayliss from Bury St Edmunds will cycle from Whitehaven to Sunderland in the Coast2Coast challenge, a total of 137 miles.
He is planning to do the distance in as little as just two or three days, cycling a total of between 40 and 50 miles a day.
He said: "I am really looking forward to it.
"I suffered a bad knee injury playing football last year, so I have done a bit of training so far, but the most daunting thing about the challenge is getting back into fitness after being out of sport and exercise for so long."
Mr Bayliss, 19, is the manager of The Maldon Grey pub in Sudbury, taking over from parents who are now also managing the White Hart in Boxford.
Mr Bayliss is raising money for his younger sister, Tiegan-Rose, who developed quadriplegic cerebral palsy when she was two weeks old after being kissed.
Mr Bayliss said: "I have wanted to do some sort of fundraiser for her for the last few years.
"The injury to my knee set me back quite a bit, but I was looking to do something and I saw that and thought it was a challenge and I have always wanted to do something to make sure she has a better life.
"Tiegan was attending specialist physiotherapy in Northampton, which would've enabled her to be one of the first children in the UK to use a robotic walking suit.
"Due to the pandemic, this had been stopped due to the inability to fund this and resulted in backward development.
"The money raised will be used for her to get back to Northampton for the physiotherapy she requires.
"Teigan is my rock, my little hero and my little superstar."
Mr Bayliss, who has previously done charity football matches for his sister, will undertake this challenge with a family friend, Jamie Andrews.
They will set off on the 220-kilometre journey on August 22, and donations will be open until that date and beyond.
