Story

Hi

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

I have been involved in various fundraising events where my contributions have been limited and quite frankly I wanted to do more.

So on the 3rd of June 2009 I will start my challenge of cycling from London to Paris. The journey will take 4 days and covering an average of 116 kilometres per day.

This event will challenge me to my physical limits but I wanted to do something where I had the potential of raising a considerable amount for the MS Trust and also raising awareness of the fantastic work they do.

MS is a condition where damage occurs in the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord).

MS is the most common disabling condition among young adults.

About 3 times as many women as men have MS

I have chosen this event as hopefully it will grab your imagination and make you feel like giving (even if it is that you just feel sorry for me).

Thankyou for taking the time to read this and please give generously.


Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me.

8/02/09 As most of you know I am not doing this cycle alone. Friend and training partner Phil have completed some fundraising together.  Thankyou to Hezlett Primary School for their donation of 650 pounds and Limavady High School with a donation of 575 pounds.

We also raised 770.61 pounds by holding a bedpush in Coleraine on 13/12/08.

Hi 2 weeks to go becoming very anxious about the challenge ahead, training has been difficult due to the weather.

To anyone who has donated thank you again.

Love Heather x
