Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Between June 19<sup>th</sup> and July 20<sup>th</sup> 2011 a friend and I are going to cycle 2500 miles between Vancouver, Canada and San Diego, California, USA. This will entail cycling up to 100 miles per day through some of the most challenging terrain the USA has to offer, including the Rocky Mountains. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">We are undertaking this challenge to raise money for <span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">the Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust. This is a charity committed to research into brain tumours as well as patient information and support. Brain tumours can affect all age groups and life expectancy for some brain cancers is very poor. The Samantha Dickson Brain Tumour Trust gives money to research that helps to improve understanding, diagnosis and treatment of brain tumours. Through the research programme a number of breakthroughs have been made. The charity also provides compassionate support and a listening ear to help people through this emotional period. Having seen first hand the devastating impact that brain tumours have we feel that more research into the area is essential to try and improve the outcome of those people unfortunate enough to be effected. </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11.0pt;">Please join us in the fight against brain cancer by donating a little money to this cause.</span></p> </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.&nbsp;</p>
