<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
<p>In November I took part in quite a challenge - cycling nearly 225 miles through the Galilee in northern Israel, in celebration of the 150th anniversary of the founding of the Nazareth Hospital. It was a joint event organised by EMMS International and The Nazareth Trust, which owns the hospital. TNT is using the funds towards a new mortuary project and support for Christian witness in Nazareth (If you look at the photos you'll see how badly a new mortuary is needed). EMMS-I will use funds towards their hospice and palliative care programmes in Malawi, India and Nepal. You can read more details on the websites: <a href="http://www.emms-nazareth.org/">http://www.emms-nazareth.org/</a> and <a href="http://www.emms.org/">http://www.emms.org/</a></p>
<p>I'm delighted to say that I have now completed the cycling itself and have done far better than I ever expected in sponsorship, raising over £5000. Staff and friends at the hospital gave us a wonderful welcome on our arrival on Friday 11th, with a brass band, balloons, presents and dancing. They really appreciate the commitment to them shown by the 27 cyclists. The event is over, but you can still donate if you wish</p>
<p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Our details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to EMMS-I (who are the administrators) and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s a very efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p>
<p>So please give as much as feel you are able to.</p>
