ParalympicsGB is responsible for ensuring Britain's top disabled athletes are best prepared to compete at the Paralympic Games. With London 2012 approaching they have one opportunity to inspire more people with a disability to get in to sport and change public perception of people with a disability.
I'm taking part in the British Paralympic Association - Deloitte Ride Across Britain 2010 on 12/06/2010 to raise money for the British Paralympic Association. My goal is to raise £750 for this remarkable cause and I'd really appreciate your support.
What is my part in raising money and awareness for the British Paralympic Association? I will be cycling just over 1,000 miles starting 12 June from John O’Groats at the Northern tip of Scotland and ending 20 June at Land’s End, the Southern tip of England. That is a nine-day journey, averaging about 100 miles per day. Or about 7 – 8 hours a day on the bike (hopefully not much more...). More information on the challenge can be found at http://www.rideacrossbritain.com/Default.aspx as well as internally at https://www.deloitteresources.com/pgContent.aspx?sid=94805&cid=721590. More information on the British Paralympic Association can be found at http://www.paralympics.org.uk/default.asp.
It's easy to donate online with a credit or debit card - just go to my JustGiving page: http://www.justgiving.com/Chris-Sprenkel. JustGiving sends your donation straight to British Paralympic Association and automatically reclaims Gift Aid if you're a UK taxpayer, so your donation is worth even more. I hope you'll join me in supporting British Paralympic Association. You’ll find I have personalized my page with a few cycling photos from my last cycling challenge – E’tape du Tour, July 2009.
Any support you can provide is greatly appreciated.
