Thanks for taking the time to visit this JustGiving page. This June Huw and and Malcolm will be taking on the London to Paris Bike Ride in 24 hours.

The ride is just under 300 miles, and is appealingly described as:-

  ‘... a tough but achievable endurance cycle challenge with a simple concept – get to Paris in less than 24 hours! It’s not a race and up to 400 riders in teams of 2 cycle the 300 mile route setting out from Blackheath, before speeding through the Kent countryside and on to Dover where a ferry to Calais awaits. Once in France we head south for Paris, cycling throughout the night until sunrise, followed by an early morning dash towards the French capital where we re-group on the outskirts of the city for the final push to the finish line under the Eiffel Tower – all within 24 hours from departing the UK!’

So, a doddle really.

If you are able to sponsor us and help Make Me Smile that would be really fantastic.

The charity's sole aim is the building and running of the Malimba Community School.  There are no admin or additional fees, so 100% of the money we raise goes to the school.  The charity was set up in memory of Jo Harris, whose dream was to see those less fortunate given the same opportunities we often take for granted.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Thanks very much indeed for any help you are able to give.
