Fundraising for Willow Foundation
Story
Excellent, thanks for visiting my Just Giving page.
All the jargon is at the bottom to make you happy that you're giving in a
safe way.
So, why am I doing this? Sounded like a good idea at the time after a boozy lunch. 12 boys (old codgers really) cycling from London to Paris - Marble Arch to l'Arc de Triomphe while we still have the energy, enthusiasm, recklessness, sense of adventure to do something as a bunch of old friends, have a bundle of laughs whilst doing it and use the opportunity to raise some much needed money for a worthwhile charity.
We chose the Willow Foundation which provides special days out for for seriously ill young adults. Willow was set up by Bob Wilson the former Arsenal goalkeeper who lost his 30 year old daughter to cancer. Take a look at www.willowfoundation.org.uk - the Willow Foundation do a remarkable and very important job and I thank you for the support you'll be giving them.
We start our journey on Wednesday 23 June 2010 and aim to cycle/limp/hobble down the Champs Elysees on Saturday 26 June (same year). Our route has been well planned and takes in a few tried and tested bars, restaurants and cafes to make the journey more comfortable.
OK, off for a bit of training... now where is that bottle of Chateau Neuf...? Trevor 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.
