Phew ....... you found me ..... about time too, I was getting worried for a fund raising minute there! I've gone "mid life crisis - just turned 40" mad and signed up to cycle across the sandy duned, pot holed peaks of Jordan (the country not the model!) ... 4 days cycling over 300km of extremely challenging terrain! Why? 1. Because its a great charity...... 2. Because I need the exercise ....... 3. Because this country bum ... oops I mean mum - needs a new challenge ........ 4. Because I want my kids to be proud and remember me for something other than shouting ....... 5. Because I've always dreamed of spending a sweaty and saddle-sore week in the scorching heat, on a rickety old bike, slogging my way up sandy hills with 90 other menopausal and pre-menstrual women ... no ... really ..... I have ....... The Task! 1. Train like the devil ....... 2. Train husband in all aspects of looking after house/kids for a week - starting from basics i.e. this is an iron........ 3. Introduce my lovely new bike to a hill ....... 4. Raise AT LEAST £2,500......... No bother at all!! See this is where you come in ... please please please make a donation - even if it's just a pound, it will soon add up. Remember, nearly 250 babies still die every week in the UK because of complications during pregnancy - the money I raise will go towards research to ensure that more women have a normal pregnancy and a healthy baby . Thanks!!! Thanks again!!!! Still here? Get giving then!!!!!! Dawn xxxx
