To make it more “challenging” I will almost certainly be attempting to do this on my small wheeled folding bicycle.

1000 miles on a folding-bike – are you mad?! I hope one of your friends is a physio.  Certainly I will sponsor you but keep a decent road bike in Rob’s boot for when you need it.    Good luck!

Now I know that you really are insane! Surely you are not serious?

Bloody hell! Couldn’t just do a fun run? Consider yourself sponsored.  Good luck!

I will have a sling full of ice for your arse when you get back good luck xx
