<p>Dear Friends and Family,</p> <p>Some of you may know that in a mad moment I agreed to cycle the Sea to Sea with some friends in our village. This is a 126 mile cycle over three days up the hills and down the dales (I hope!) from Whitehavern to Newcastle. We are cycling it over 3 days from the 14th to the 17th October.</p> <p>My mate Jake is a fantastic and lively 6 year old who has Downs Syndrome. He gets up to all the sorts of things you would expect a little boy to, but he also benefits from some extra support from this local group. I am writing to you to ask if I do the "pain" will you help South Bucks Downs Syndrome Group gain by donating to the charity?</p> <p>I would really appeciate it!</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
