He starts the cycling challenge on 20 July with his friends Liam Blundell and Olly Bagley, you can access their fundraising page here.
Luke said: “I really wanted to do something in Poppy’s memory and SANDS is very close to my family after the incredible support we received in 2002.
"She would have been 20 this year, had she lived, so 2000 miles in 20 days seemed a fitting target for the sister I had so very briefly.”
