Hi to all and thanks for visiting and a big thanks to those who have sponsored me so far.

I am taking part in a bike ride from Twickenham to Paris as part of a Scope event just prior to the England SA game in Paris at the Rugby World Cup 2007. The details are here http://www.scope.org.uk/adventures/london-paris.shtml

This is even more meaningful for me as I need a modified bike after a road traffic accident in 2002 and this is the first really physical challenge I have been able to undertake since that time. If I can find the time and dedication to train and complete this ride despite a minor physical disability then YOU can surely find the time to grab your wallet and make a donation to this worthy cause to help others "get equal".

Please do your best, no matter how small your donation and thanks for taking the time to come to the site. If we all make a donation, we can make a difference where it is needed.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Scope will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

If you prefer to donate by cheque then please write out a cheque to "SCOPE" and email me at crufcfixtures@aol.com for my postal address. I can then make sure it is allocated against my fundraising activities!

Thanks again and keep coming back here and to my blog  http://eggchaser.blogspot.com/ as there will be more information and links as the training and fundraising continue. The blog is updated at least once a week so please take a look.
