Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
I am joining a group of 50 other nutters that are riding push bikes from Bristol to Bordeaux over 4 days - thats nearly 500 miles! We are trying to raise money for a charity called PROPS (Providing opportunity and support for young people with physical and learning disabilities) http://www.propsforward.org/.
I'm leaving from Queen Square in Bristol early on the morning of Wednesday 15th June and arriving at Portsmouth docks that evening in time to catch an overnight ferry to St Malo. Then it’s 3 hard days cycling through France, with overnight stops in the region of Nantes and Rochefort, finishing 470 miles later in Bordeaux on Saturday 18th June for a well-deserved glass of wine and a face full of cheese!
The furthest I've ever cycled in a day was 80 miles and that took from dawn to dusk - On this adventure, I'll need to average about 120 miles a day, so I've fitted lights to my bike... Being diabetic means that I'll be carrying approximately 5 kilos of jelly babies just to keep my going!
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your 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 the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
So please dig deep and donate now.
