Hi! My name is Tom, thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am raising money for the British Heart Foundation in memory of my friend Alex's wonderful mum.
Many of my friends in England are about to do the London-Brighton night cycle to raise money for the BHF. I cannot join them because I live far away, in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq. Cycling in the night here is tantamount to suicide. Instead I will cycle 180km deep into the Zagros mountains to Iran (well, to the Iraq-Iran border at Haji Omaran) along the Hamilton Road with my friend Jasper..... In the boiling summer sun.
Please sponsor me, I am looking forwards to getting out into the mountains for a few days, but am not excited by the steep inclines and am dreading the unrelenting summer sun.
Oh and please can someone lend me a bicycle? I'd like to have the chance to do one or two practice rides before my tiny legs have to push me up those steep hills as I chase Casper - a seasoned professional who recently cycled all of the way from England to Kurdistan.Many thanks,
Tom
