Story

<p>Please Help!!!</p> <p>This Sepetember I&nbsp;will be attempting the <span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>Amsterdam300 Challenge </strong></span>in aid of <strong>SCOPE </strong>-&nbsp;Englands leading disability&nbsp;Charity with two of my colleagues <strong>Nick Butcher </strong>and <strong>Richard Pitts</strong></p> <p><span style="color: #ff0000;"><strong>The Amsterdam 300 : 300 miles : 4 countries : 2 days : 1 ride</strong></span></p> <p>We will be riding 300 miles from London to Amstedam in 48 hours!&nbsp; We depart from&nbsp;&nbsp;London when Big Ben strikes midnight on the Thursday for a night ride to&nbsp;Dover (could be interesting!). From here we pedal through France and onto Belgium where we take a rest ready for the final push trough to Holland&nbsp;and onto the finish line&nbsp;in the Dam Square in Amsterdam!</p> <p>This challenge gives us the opportunity to&nbsp;truely appreciate the airpoprt connections between our London and Amsterdam offices - i doubt we will be complaining about easy jet delays&nbsp;or the Schipol Airport location&nbsp;again!</p> <p>This is a massive challenge for the 3 of us as we will need to get some serious training in ready to stand up to the endurance element of the ride. We are riding in order to raise money for <strong>SCOPE</strong> and have set a target of &pound;5,000 between us.&nbsp;All donations are hugly appreciated and will be going to a&nbsp;great cause.</p> <p>On top of the fantastic cause there is also a high chance of&nbsp; me being humiliated by a group of militant cyclists who leave me stranded somwhere in Belgium en route - so that should be worth a quid or 2!&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for anything you can spare!</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>
