Two local leithers and long time supporters of Greener Leith, Richard Cross and his partner, have embarked on fantastic challenge - to cycle the 1500Km from Paris to Barcelona. And whilst we're very jealous of the fact that they'll have a chance to eat as much glorious euro-cheese as they want, safe in the knowledge that their arteries will stay unfurred - they are doing it for a good cause too.

Richard, being an all round media genius, has set up a fantastic website where you can follow their progress. But what they really, really, want is for Leithers to sponsor them. You can sponsor them on-line here: http://www.justgiving.com/paris-barcelona/
