Story

<p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>&nbsp;</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>We made it!!! All back home safely now, missing our saddles and wondering where adventures may take us next ;-) 250 miles in which the most dangerous part didn't feel like the streets of Paris but the lanes of West Sussex.</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>We had a fantastic trip with amazing weather and very few hiccups along the way - save for PEPE LE PNEUS <span style="color: #000000;">(Eleanor)</span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong></strong></span><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong><span style="color: #000000;">Thanks to everyone for their generosity. We will leave the page up at least&nbsp;until the end of May to encourage just a few more donations and, we'll get a little journal of the trip out to all our donors in the near future.</span></strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong></strong></span><strong><span style="color: #339966;"><em>Thanks to everyone who has helped us get beyond &pound;2,000 ;-)</em></span></strong></p> <p>Our small team, of currently under-prepared cyclists (Jane, Andy, Ian, Gill, James and Eleanor), are aiming to cycle over 250 miles&nbsp;to Paris for the Easter weekend to raise funds for two charities with very personal connections - the Fieldfare Trust and its Challenge&nbsp;(<a href="http://www.fieldfare.org.uk">www.fieldfare.org.uk</a> and <a href="http://www.fieldfarekielderchallenge.org.uk">www.fieldfarekielderchallenge.org.uk</a>) &nbsp;and Breakthrough Breast Cancer (<a href="http://www.breakthrough.org.uk">www.breakthrough.org.uk</a>).</p> <p>We are funding the whole trip ourselves and will be camping en route in a desperate attempt not to enjoy ourselves. So, any amount&nbsp; you can donate, however small, will be certain of going directly to the charities which we are supporting.</p> <p>Thanks you so much for taking the time to visit&nbsp;our JustGiving page.</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Please dig deep and donate whatever you can.</p> <p>Thank you,</p> <p>Jane, Andy, Budge (Ian), Gill,&nbsp;James and Eleanor</p>
