<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>Most of my day is spent as a Funding Consultant, sourcing funding for clients whilst sitting in front of a computer screen. &nbsp;I decided it was time to raise money for a charity in a slightly more energetic way.</p> <p>So in January, &nbsp;I decided I needed a challenge and signed up for the Ride across Britain challenge (www.rideacrossbritain.com), which is a nine day bike ride from John O'Groats at the top of Scotland to Land's End at the most southerly point of England - nearly 1,000 miles. &nbsp;I have decided to do this on behalf of the Northern Ireland Association for Mental Health, a very worthy charity based in Belfast.</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 I would appreciate it if you could dig deep and donate now. &nbsp;Also follow my journey on twitter @ iansavage or on facebook at www.facebook.com/isavage1</p> <p>Many thanks in advance!</p> <p>Ian</p>
