Many of my friends have pulled on lycra and headed to France to test their stamina for a good cause...and now it's my turn. I'm cycling with a dedicated group from my office, Visa Europe, over 360 miles to raise money for UNICEF.

Your donation means a lot...not just to me....but most importantly to children who don't enjoy the support and love that many of us took for granted as children. As a parent, I now know the heartache and headache children cause. However I will always be there for my daughters...as no doubt all parents reading this will be for their children.

Please help make a difference to lives less fortunate than ours and our children.

Thank you for your support.

Simon
