Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Update:

Dear All

I finished the London to Paris bike ride on Saturday 30th July. After managing 3 punctures within five minutes of setting off from London, all went well and everyone reached Paris in one piece! 

Many thanks once again for all your generous sponsorship. It is very much appreciated.

 

 

I finished the marathon in 3 hours 25 minutes. Having struggled with a chest infection during the week I was just pleased to finish but dissappointed that I couldn't go under 3 hours!

Thanks once again for your generousity.

 

Last year I was overwhelmed by your support for running the London Marathon, as your donations totalled over £6,000 for Cancer Research UK. I do not expect the same level of generousity this year, but would appreciate any contributions for this ongoing worthy cause.

 

The work Cancer Research UK carry out is close to my heart and is imperative to fighting and preventing a disease which affects 1 in 3 people in the UK during their lifetime. It is a charity that leads to many of the breakthroughs for fighting cancer whilst also giving support to the families and loved ones of the patient.

 

I appreciate that many of you already give generously to charity and may well be sponsoring someone in the same event. If so, please do not feel that you have to sponsor me. Any small contribution would be gratefully received and I thank you in advance for your support. 

 

All the money raised will go to charity - it is not being used to pay for my costs on the London to Paris cycle ride as some of you may think!

 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. 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 it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
