Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
The Great British Bike Ride (GBBR) is a charity ride from Lands End to London over a 5 day period. Sounds simple, but now if I tell you the route will be circa 320 miles and the ride on the first day is in excess of 90 miles it starts to seem a little bit more interesting. Now add the fact that I am not a regular cyclist and let's face it not the smallest of guys this is going to be a very tough challenge!!
Now please pick yourself up from laughing, I promise no lycra pictures!!
The event finishes on Sat 9th July at Twickenham Stadium and thankfully coincides with the annual sevens tournament. A great chance to relax with a beer or two, see some first class rugby and see if I have seized up!
A few weeks ago I received a sponsorship request from one of the guys I know in the Lloyd’s Life market who has decided to jump out of a plane (much to the amusement of anyone who knows him). He is doing this in aid of the hospital that treated his 13 year old daughter (Meghan) whom suffered from a rare brain tumour in 2010. When Marc sent his email out to the market he attached a presentation which Meghan had prepared….WOW, what a brave young lady, really brought a tear to my eye. Hopefully you can help me to add a few pounds to the cause.
I am delighted to be participating in this great event and ask you to please dig deep and help support one of my chosen charities, the King’s College Hospital Charity.
I really appreciate all your support and thank you for any donations.
All the best
Simon
