Thank you for taking the time to visit my Concern Universal JustGiving page. Please read this whole information before donating (it won´t take long!)
Concern Universal is a Herefordshire charity that is working with people living in poverty to enable them to improve their lives through their work. They don't just give things to people who need them to keep them going, they teach them and give them the tools to improve their lives themselves, and this is something really worth supporting.
To fundraise for them, between 18th and 23rd July I will be cycling with 3 friends over some of the toughest mountains in World cycling, on the same days as the Tour de France. We will climb Les Deux Alpes, La Croix de Fer, Glandon, Lautaret, Galibier (twice). In total, over 4 days, 410 km (171 of these climbing), 12,605 meters of vertical gain and 24 Tour de Franced mountains (2 out of category, 8 1st category, 7 of 2nd, 3 or 3rd, 2 of 4th and 1 of 5th). On 22nd July, we will do the deciding stage of the Tour, 109km over Telegraph, Galilbier and Alpe D'Huez, with 4,500m of vertical climb and reaching altitudes of 2,600 m. We expect each stage to take 6-8 hrs on the bike (or longer if we really blow up!)
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 your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
I am supporting 2 charities and if you could spread your donation between them, that would be fantastic! So please dig deep and donate now.
