<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">As you may or may not know, in a little over two and a half weeks I will be riding approximately 1066 miles over 14 days, from Lands end to John O’Groats, hoping I don’t get lost along the way. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">For the past year I have been out on the bike training come rain, snow or shine. For the past 6 months it’s been most of my free time out on the roads in and around Hertford doing the training. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">I thought that this would be a great opportunity to raise some money for charity. The charity that i have chosen is the Lymphoma Association.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">The Lymphoma Association is the only specialist UK charity that provides accurate medical information and support to lymphatic cancer patients, their families, friends and carers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">In the UK, around 1,730 cases of Hodgkin lymphoma and over 11,800 cases of non-Hodgkin lymphoma are diagnosed each year.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">It is the most common cancer affecting the under 30s. It is estimated that approximately 75,000 people in the UK are currently living with the disease.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">This is a link to their web site for a little more information about the charity <a href="http://www.lymphomas.org.uk/">http://www.lymphomas.org.uk/</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">All of the money that I hope to raise is going towards the charity. All equipment, transport and accommodation costs have been funded by myself and the team that I am doing the ride with. Any donation, no matter how large or small will make a difference. </span></p>

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.
