Story

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

On 10-14th September, four of us from the BP TAS team cycled 310 miles from London to Paris, raising funds for Marie Curie Cancer Care. Our itinerary was:

Day 1: London (Croydon) to Dover - 85 miles, followed by a ferry to Dieppe

Day 2: Dieppe to Lisieux - 88 miles

Day 3: Lisieux to Vernon - 72 miles

Day 4: Vernon to Paris (Eiffel Tower) - 65 miles

Even though we have now completed the ride, it's not too late to sponsor us and help us reach our final target! Marie Curie is a great charity to support because a high percentage of the money they raise goes directly to helping cancer sufferers and their families. And, thanks to matched giving, everything we raise will be matched by BP up to $5,000. So please sponsor us using Justgiving - it's quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Marie Curie Cancer Care gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

Many thanks for your support,

Colin, Emma, Pavan & Tim
