<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">As ex chair, and current vice chair of the ECCDS, a charity which I am incredibly passionate and proud of, I am looking to raise money for the charity.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">The event is organised by Surtees Lodge 4593, and is their Annual 3 Day Bike Ride.“S2S”[ Kelso, Scotland to Shildon, England]<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">28 brave riders and their support team will spend the May Bank Holiday [28-30 May] overcoming 180 miles of off-road cycling to raise money for worthy causes.<br /><br />This year there are four new causes being supported:<br />The Education Centre for Children with Down Syndrome [ECCDS]<br />Brain Cancer Research<br />Grace House Children’s Hospice<br />Whitworth School [children with severe disabilities]</span></span></p>

Any amount big or small will be very much appreciated!<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" /></span>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p>
