Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">A group of us from work recently spent a day volunteering at a place called Knowles Tooth. It&rsquo;s a children&rsquo;s home which takes in vulnerable kids and their families and allows them to take a few days away from their &ndash; often negative &ndash; home situation and reconnect as a family. The kids get a chance to play and the parents get a chance to unwind.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The home itself is just up the road from Brighton and is run by a small group of people and volunteers who work really hard to make things better for these kids and families &ndash; it is a really positive place.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Unfortunately, the home is suffering from a lack of funding. There isnt enough money to do all of the things that are needed to keep the house operating and its gradually deteriorating.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So we had the idea to raise some money for the place....</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In a nutshell, my Boss and me are putting ourselves up for three months of physical pain.....all in the name of charity.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In addition to the weekly tasks our work mates are throwing at us, we&rsquo;ll be doing three sponsored bike rides &ndash; 30, 40 and 50 miles &ndash; one at the end of each <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">&nbsp;</span>month.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">The aim is to raise &pound;1,000 between us for the charity &ndash; and at the same time lose 10% of our body weight (yeah, I know, like I need to!!). Bye bye Colonel Sanders, hello salad fingers.....</p> <p class="MsoNormal">So here&rsquo;s what I need from you, dear people, just click on the link below and give us a few quid.....easy!</p> <p class="MsoNormal">By doing so you&rsquo;ll be providing me with some much needed motivation and also doing your bit for a very worthy cause.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal">C'mon, dont be tight!!</p>
