Guys -  I am riding nearly a 1000kms on the longer GBI Europe route from Budapest to Munich, visiting 4 countries in 7 days.

I am doing so as part of the Qatar based Sandstormers charity cycling team, and we are raising money in Qatar for a charity supporting underprivileged families. The team of 18 of us have raised over 30,000 pounds already which will help over 200 families so far.

That said, as you can't send funds via a just giving esque site to charities in Qatar, I asked my team if I could fundraise for Jane's Appeal with my friends and family internationally. www.janetomlinsonappeal.com

Many will know Jane's story and the great work she did and the work her charity does every year to raise millions to support cancer and children charities and project.

Others will know I road across America and did an Ironman with Jane, someone I will be eternally privileged to call a friend, so its pretty personal this one.

1000km will be the longest continuous ride I have done since the ride with Jane and it would be awesome if you could use it as a reason (shameless plug) to support the charities great work.
