My story

Hi to Everyone..... 

 

Back in 2008 Brian did the Manchester to Blackpool bike ride and a lot of people were very generous with their money and we raised just over £1500 for the The Meningitis Trust. (click it, go on...but come back!)

 

I think that 3 years is a long enough break for you all to have not been pestered for a little bit of cash and this time, I've manged to rope in two friends (fools), Alan and Dave, to make this ride a little more social and hopefully to raise a bit more money than last time. 

 

The ride this time is a lively little jaunt around Chehire - 100km to be exact 

 

Without going into details, The Meningitis Trust is a charity that is very important to my wife Alison and myself and whenever possible, we like to raise a little bit of money for them as well as (and just as importantly) awareness of what they do.

Thank you for having a quick read and we'd appreciate any amount you can spare.

 

Click on the smaller photo at the left and you can see some of the services that The Meningitis Trust offer for free - these services cost £8000 a day to support.......

 

Here's the normal JustGiving blurb............
