<p>Hello lovely (generous) people! <span style="color: #000000;">On June 6th 2012, I will be cycling from London to Paris for Amnesty International.</span> In 4 days I will cycle 300 miles (most of which will be on the wrong side of the road) to the Eiffel Tower. I've never done anything like this before and I haven't owned a bike since I was a kid, so my first step will be to buy one.<span style="color: #003366;"> <span style="color: #000000;">How hard can it be? It's just like riding a bike!</span></span></p> <p>Although it will be hard work and lots of training, it will also be an amazing experience, so I will obviously put a lot of my own money in to it. But I really need your help (cash) to reach the total needed to take part. It's a really great cause and you'll be helping me get 'well fit'! <span style="color: #333399;"><a title="Chris on a Bike - Blog" href="http://chris-on-a-bike.blogspot.com/">Follow my progress here.</a></span><br><br></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>AMAZING SPECIAL OFFERS...</strong></span></p> <p><span style="color: #ff6600;"><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="color: #ff6600;"><strong>&nbsp;*</strong></span> <strong>Donate &pound;20</strong> or more and you'll get a little surprise gift from the trip.<br></span></span><span style="color: #333333;"><span><strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">&nbsp;*</span> Donate &pound;50</strong> or more and I will bring you back a French goody-bag!

They do amazing work protecting human rights around the world. They campaign to help people when their basic rights, which we take for granted, are denied.
