My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

A team of 12 decided, in moment of weakness, to tackle the London to Paris in under 24 hours cycle ride on 10 June 2011...a ride of about 245 miles (depending upon who is navigating). This challenge is not for the faint hearted.

The team comprises Edward Hayter, Pete Latham, Mark McGhee, Iain Stanton, John Handley, Iain Anstess, Martin Bean, Stuart Forbes, Michael Kennedy, Dafydd Pugh, Rob Pendleton and Mark Beaumont (who tends to cycle a bit...last trip was over 13,000 miles!)...and a support team of Sheryl Haddow, Sophie Reed and Kevin Marriot...and a van...and no parrot mascot.

The team at LDC have supported Maggies Centres for the past 2 years and we would wlecome any support you can give to this worthy cause.

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.
