Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.  This summer I am riding from London to Paris on a bicycle to raise money for children in need.

I have started training  and  am just beginning to see what a great challenge this will be for my body, mind and spirit.  Daily training to build up to riding 60 miles per day is going to take a lot of dedication, perseverence, will power and commitment.  (Honestly - this is a HUGE endeavor for me to be taking on - SERIOUSLY - 60 miles+ a day for 4 days is SCARY to me at this point but I am determined to do it!!!!)

Why am I doing it?  Because each day, all over the world, there are children in need who have no one to advocate for them, no one to care for them and no one to provide for them.  As a teacher I am blessed by the joy of children each day and feel it is important to give back to those in need.  

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 100% of your money directly to the charity. It’s the most efficient way to donate.

You can donate in US or Canadian currency if you do not have Euros to donate.  If you want to get an idea of the exchange rates, here is a link to an online currency translator site: www.xe.com/ucc/

Thanks so much for helping me to reach my goal for Unicef.  Please call or email me if you want more details or wish to donate via check or money order.  Thanks again and please keep me in your prayers as I continue to train and prepare for this ride.  

Sincerely,

Leigh
