Well the weather managed to be kind and I competed the ride in 4hrs 13 minutes, which for a first time is not a bad effort. Many thanks for your continued support.
<p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">There isn’t one really.........</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">I've threatened for years to do something for charity and 2012 sees the start of it. At the end of last year I attended a rather emotional fund raising evening and sat in awe of so many different people, some less fortunate than myself giving an awful lot in the name of charity. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">After a bit of "browsing" on twitter........ yes! Finally, I do embrace social media....... I stumbled across a fundraising cycle ride between Stockport and Southport to raise money for St Ann’s Hospice. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">So I decided this was it, let’s get fit & healthy and do something worthwhile at the same time.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">So here goes, over the coming months I will take part in various events, raising money for a very worthy cause. </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Please visit <a href="http://www.leemic.co.uk/supported-charity">www.leemic.co.uk/supported-charity</a> for further information on other events I am doing in aid of St Ann's Hospice.</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;"> </span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: &amp;amp;amp; color: black; font-size: 11.5pt;">Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</span></p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <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.
