Story
Thank you for visiting our London Bikeathon fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor us online to help the fight against Leukaemia.
We are team Metta Bears, 14 of us who mostly have not met or know each other before decided to come together for a good cause. The word 'metta' is a multi-significant Pali word meaning loving-kindness, friendliness, goodwill, benevolence, fellowship, amity, concord, inoffensiveness and non-violence. The Pali commentators define metta as the strong wish for the welfare and happiness of others. In simple English, we are team Care Bears!
We will be negotiating the challenging London city roads, inhaling exhaust fumes and dodging the double deckers! We'll take care of the sweaty work doing the bike ride, but its you who really can make a difference... Please click the 'SPONSOR US NOW' button and be generous.... every little bit helps.
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Leukaemia Research Fund 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.
So please sponsor us now!
Remember that even £1 goes a long way!
Many thanks for your support from all of us.
(This page will keep on accepting donations until 16th September 2006)
UPDATES: We have successfully completed our bikeathon challenge and have clocked up a total of 338 miles (540.8km), not including the distances it took us to the start point and back home! We greatly enjoy this event, except for inhaling of bus exhaust fumes though. We will be back next year! Photos at: http://tinyurl.com/qcply
