Hello and thanks for visiting my sponsorship page!

On 14 to 17 June 2012, I will be taking part in the Football League Arch to Arc bike ride raising money for Help the Hospices. This challenging three-day bike ride starts at Wembley Stadium and finishes at the Arc de Triomphe, Paris. We will be cycling a gruelling 245 miles over 3 three days through England and France come rain or shine so we will be earning every penny of sponsorship we manage to raise!

I will be taking on this challenge with my sister Leanne and her boyfriend Danny. We have a £1,300 target each that we need to meet in order to participate. You can also sponsor them by visiting justgiving.com/douglasleanne and justgiving.com/danielwhiteside.

You can also sponsor us as a team at... justgiving.com/teams/dougside.

The money raised will go to Help the Hospices who do amazing work supporting hospices around the country. You can watch a video about their work at
