Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Well we did it!! I completed the challenge and you helped me beat my fundraising target! On Monday 9th April 2012 I completed the 85 miles from St Marys Stadium to Selhurst Park in just over 4 and a half hours, arriving before the people that were supposed to be cheering me over the line! </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">In the 3 months up to the event I have completed over 800 miles during my training and countless spinning classes but my efforts are outshone by the amazing kindness and generosity of everyone that has donated. Thankyou all so very, very much! </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">In addition I would like to thank some others for their unseen support which I couldn't have managed without.</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">My family for supporting me as pretty much every day off has been devoted to training at some point, my daughter Natasha who arranged sponsorship with 'The Village Hotel Farnborough', my daughter Francesca who has been my nutritionalist during the training and event, Lloyd and Paul for sourcing bikes for me and Lee and Ellen, my brother and niece, for supporting me en route! </span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">And once again, a massive thankyou for your donations!</span></p> <p><span style="line-height: 115%; font-family: &amp;amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt; mso-fareast-language: EN-GB; mso-fareast-font-family: &#39;Times New Roman&#39;; mso-ansi-language: EN-GB; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">Ian </span></p> <p><strong> </strong>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
