<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">I will celebrate my 75th birthday by embarking on this 2000 mile tour round </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">England. </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">I have been a born again cyclist for the past 18 years during which </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">time I have ridden all over Britain, round Ireland, in America and in 8 western</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">European countries thanks to the skills and expert advice of cardiologists </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Dr Dan Tunstall Pedoe (now retired) and recently Dr Nigel Stephens. I have</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">a well </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">managed heart condition having lost perhaps 15 - 20% of my heart </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">capacity </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">some 12 </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">years ago; hence my interest in <strong>'Mending Broken Hearts'.</strong></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">I am well </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">aware that I am a very lucky man to be able to </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">attempt such a ride, </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">but I will </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">not be racing or going for endurance records.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Not to ride for charity would be selfish and a wasted </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">opportunity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">I will pay all my own living expenses. </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Every penny donated, will go to charity </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">including the gift Aid. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">I am asking all family, friends, associates, Companies and any other folk who</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: -36pt; margin: 0cm -52.7pt 0pt 66pt;"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">would be kind enough to </span><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">make a donation. <strong>Thank you for your Support </strong></span></p>
