Well, cycling 600 miles for charity as a way of celebrating my 60th birthday might be a bit unusual, but I'm up for the challenge!

I am supporting two environmental charities - donating through this site supports the Chichester Harbour Trust which is doing great work conserving this unique and important place;  and I am also supporting Brigit's Garden, the project I set up in Galway, Ireland that aims to inspire people about nature and heritage.

I would be delighted if you would sponsor me, and also invite you to ride with me for a while. The last day of the trip on 4th September is the route taken by the 7th Century St Cuthman in reverse, from Steying to Bosham, and it would be great to have as many people joining as possible.

For more on the cycle ride and to follow my progress see  http://jennyscharitycycle.wordpress.com

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. 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 please dig deep and donate now.Thank you!
