Bonjour (French for hello),

I'm cycling from London to Paris with a few chaps from work. We set off on 21st July from a place called 'Trafalgar Square' and arrive at a monument known as 'Eiffel Tower' on 23rd July, ready to watch the final sprint of the Tour De France on the Champs Elysees.

There will be over 40 cyclists taking part and we are aiming to raise £28,000 for Great Ormond Street Hospital. The ride has gained quite a bit of publicity from local radio stations and the CEO of Great Ormond itself, so it'd be great to reach this target. It'd also be great for Mark Lewis who was the organiser of this ride until an accident during his training left him hospitalised.

I have prepared for this like most things in my life and knocked up an impressive 0 hours of training along with a bike I'm not entirely sure works. So for this strenuous endeavour I'm asking you to part with some of your hard earned money to raise funds for the much needed defilbrillators for Great Ormond Street Hospital.
