Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.
In October 2009, I will be taking part in a 300km cycle ride across Jordan to raise funds for the very worthwhile charity - Women for Women.
This is a major challenge for me as I have not ridden a bicycle in more years than I care to remember and certainly never for a distance such as this. I have a lot of training to do!
At the moment, up to 250 babies die in the UK every week due to complications during pregnancy and almost every day in the UK up to 250 women suffer a miscarriage. Please help me raise vital funds to aid medical research to reduce these numbers.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Women for Women gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
Thank you.
