My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I am attempting to cycle from London - Paris which is over 230 miles in 3 days and we are raising money for Caravan, the charity for the Grocery industry so all donations are gratefully recived! Your donation will make a real difference to the lives of the people Caravan help and will give me an incentive to reach the finish line!

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’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’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Many thanks

John
