WHAT I'M DOING:

I'll be cycling the Coast to Coast route - 140 miles from Whitehaven to Sunderland - along with a few of my colleagues from Centrica.  Centrica are helping to support the event.  It's happening from 17-19 September 2010.  I'm still relatively new to cycling and I'm half scared and half excited by the challenge but it should hopefully help me to do something worthwhile and get a little bit fitter in the process.

 

WHY I'M DOING IT:

I'm raising money for a small local charity - the Windsor Voluntary Car Service.  Their mission is to provide an attentive and caring transport service for residents in Windsor whose limited mobility precludes them from using public transport or taxis. You can read more about them at http://www.wvcs.co.uk/

As WVCS is such a small charity with limited administrational capabilities, the Berkshire Community Foundation has offered to collect the fundraising on their behalf, and ensure that the money reaches WVCS after all is collected.  Their details are:

DONATING ON JUST GIVING:

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.
