<p><span style="color: #808080;">Thanks for visiting my page...I decided to cycle 350km over 5 days in India in a fit of <strong><em>`Dillusionary Optimism`</em></strong> but then thought.. why not? </span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">So if you can help an unfit middle aged crack pot raise a lot of money for a great cause, that would be fantastic and you would be directly helping to give lots of <strong><em>Deserving children</em></strong> at least a chance...<strong>Thank you</strong>!</span></p>
<p><span style="color: #808080;">Below is a little information about <em><strong>`Cycle India`</strong></em>, there are pictures and a video to the left of this text to give you a better idea of what this project is all about.

<p><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><strong>About Cycle India.</strong></span><br /><br />In January 2008, a group of adventurous individuals took part in Cycle India 2008, the most ambitious fundraising event Heal has ever undertaken.<br /><br />And it was a great success!<br /><br />The team consisted of 20 UK cyclists, 3 from the US, and a further 8 local people from Andhra Prasdesh, making the charity bike ride a real international event. There were also 8 further non-cyclists from the UK who were there for support, and to help film and photograph the whole event.<br /><br />They raised over £100,000 for Heal, which will be used for helping develop a new project in Andhra Pradesh, and helping provide more children with health and education. In addition to fundraising, the event provided an opportunity for people from the UK, US and India to work together to create an event which succeeded on so many levels, not least the spirit of friendship which developed amongst the team members and their supporters. We then repeated the event in January 2010 this time in Coorg, Karnataka raising a further £70,000 for Heal."</p>
