Story

<p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;">I&rsquo;m absolutely petrified of heights yet I&rsquo;m going to abseil down the side of a very tall building in Bristol to raise funds for "Two's Company". </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;">Two's Company is a tandem project that gives visually impaired and disabled adults and children opportunities to come cycling - for which I'm a&nbsp;volunteer front-rider.&nbsp; </span></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;">To keep the tandems going we need money &ndash; this year funding is scarce, so please sponsor me to leap off this scary building and raise money to keep these precious cycles on the road.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;">Thank you so much in advance, </span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;">Jen</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;">Two&rsquo;s Company organises an annual programme of tandem cycle rides for complete beginners all the way through to experienced riders. A typical ride has up to&nbsp;8 tandems, each with a sighted person at the front and a visually impaired or disabled co-rider behind. The rides are enjoyable days out, and are a great way for people to get out and about, socialise and make new friends.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;">Two's Company participants can't just go for a ride when they feel like it.&nbsp;&nbsp; Without this project they would have very limited opportunities to enjoy the local countryside, pedalling under their own power, experiencing the wind in their hair whilst keeping fit.</span></p> <p><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #0000ff;">Two's Company is one of the many projects that Bristol based charity LifeCycle run.
