Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

http://www.sandragladwin.co.uk/alangladwin/bresttobrest.htm Is the link to my web page which I am updating with my training and later challenge progress updates.

To save you having to go there here it is in brief:

Start Brest in Brittany France, cycle 2500km to Brest Belarus all that lies between is France, Germany, Belgium, Poland, no support and any route I want.

As a cyclist I usually avoid sponsored events as it feels wrong asking people to donate for something I would do anyway. This event is slightly different however, being 60 marathons, or Lands End to John O Groats and back.

Being from Brest to Brest, Breast Cancer seams the obvious choice. Because of other comitments I will not be officially entering the event, as I intend to set off about 2 weeks before the official start. I will stand the cost of all my travel expenses and logistics. I am tweaking the goal post slightly, my final destination will be Terespol border control with Belarus, 2km from Brest, its £90 minimum and paperwork to cross the border.

If any one feels my madness is sufficient to donate to Breast Cancer Research so much the better. As an unofficial entrant I have no requirement to raise funds but any that are I would like to credit to Wackey Chases for their Inspiration on crossing Europe for a good cause.

It was billed as a race, I hope to cycle camp as a solo rider in 10 days (160 miles a day), information I recieved from the organisers said that most feedback thinks the event should be of a length completable in 2 weeks. So who knows an Uxbridge Loiterer (CTC section) could be the fastest across Europe.

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.

So please dig deep and donate now.
