Es por ello que he decidido usar este reto personal para recaudar dinero para la investigaci&oacute;n sobre el cancer, una enfermedad que ha afectado a mi familia y que seguramente tambi&eacute;n a la tuya.&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Yo voy a donar a <a href="http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/">Cancer Research UK</a> una libra por cada 10 kil&oacute;metros que consiga en mi reto; te pido que contribuyas con tu donaci&oacute;n y as&iacute; me ayudes a que mi locura tenga sentido.</p> <p>********************************************************</p> <p>Now in English</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I have the intention of being in Paris next August 21st, 2011 to participate in the <a href="http://www.paris-brest-paris.org/pbp2011/index2.php?lang=en&amp;cat=accueil&amp;page=edito">17th Paris-Brest-Paris</a>, a 1200km bicycle race from Paris to Brest and back to Paris in less than 90 hours.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>In order to grant a position at the start I will have to complete the brevets, four cycling events riding for 200, 300, 400 and 600 kilometers.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>This is my planned schedule for this personal challenge:</p> <p>* February 12th, 2011 - 200km&nbsp;Brevet at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.aukweb.net/cal/calsolo.php?Ride=11-80">Redhil Surrey</a>&nbsp;(done&nbsp;<a href="http://goo.gl/wyNmI" target="_blank">goo.gl/wyNmI</a>)</p> <p>* Abril 2nd, 2011 - 300km&nbsp;Brevet at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.aukweb.net/cal/calsolo.php?Ride=11-417">Chalfont St Peter</a>&nbsp;(done <a href="http://goo.gl/vf8Tb" target="_blank">goo.gl/vf8Tb</a>)</p> <p>* Mayo 7th, &nbsp;2011 - 400km&nbsp;Brevet at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.aukweb.net/cal/calsolo.php?Ride=11-760&amp;Rider=6662">The Hailsham</a>&nbsp;(done <a href="goo.gl/dQOQc">goo.gl/dQOQc</a>)</p> <p>* Mayo 21st, 2011 - 600km&nbsp;Brevet at&nbsp;<a href="http://www.aukweb.net/cal/calsolo.php?Ride=11-763&amp;Rider=6662">The Midhurst - Hay</a>&nbsp;(done&nbsp;<a href="goo.gl/dQOQc">goo.gl/cm2ZX</a>)</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>* August 21st, 2011 - 1200km&nbsp;<a href="http://www.paris-brest-paris.org/pbp2011/index2.php?lang=en&amp;cat=accueil&amp;page=edito">Paris-Brest-Paris</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Every time I tell someone my plans I am asked "why?", and I have found out that "just fun" seems not to be a sufficient reason for such madness. That is why I decided to use this personal challenge to raise money for cancer research, a disease that has affected my family and probably yours too.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm going to donate to&nbsp;<a href="http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/">Cancer Research UK</a>&nbsp;&nbsp;a pound per each 10km I ride in my challenge;&nbsp;I'm asking you to make your donation and help me make sense of my folly.</p>
