Women for Women- Cycle Jordan Event 2 · 11 October 2009 ·

We raise funds for vital medical research to ensure the health of women and babies

Story

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.

**OFFLINE FUNDRAISING ** Many, many thanks to the following supporters who have pledged funds "offline" : My employers £500, my boss, Nigel £100 & my wonderful Grandad £100 - I can't thank you enough xx

 **UPDATE November 2008** - £180 raised at Curry Evening, many thanks to all who joined me & made it such a success. Extra special thanks to my hubby for giving the fundraising total a massive boost by paying the entire drinks bill!!

**UPDATE January 2009** Well, I am finally back on my bike after the excesses of Christmas and am pleased to say that I am enjoying it (so far!). Offline sponsorship total now updated to include £126 raised at 2nd Curry Evening, £70 raised from collecting unwanted mobile phones, £32 from sale of handmade Christmas cards & notebooks, plus a few extra donations from friends & colleagues. Thank you everyone, lets get that total even higher!!
