Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>August 12th update</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>We're&nbsp;just back from our camping holiday in the west of Scotland - rather wet and wild for much of it (the weather, that is, not us), but I did find one nice day to do the ride: Wed 3rd August was clear and bright, so that's when I did it. You can see photos on FaceBook: <a href="http://www.facebook.com/loveghana">www.facebook.com/loveghana</a>. 57 miles cycled in 4 hours and 4 minutes (not counting stops, so actual cycling time); total hills about 900 m (that's almost a munro).</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>A great big THANK YOU to everyone who has sponsored me - it will be so great to see what all that money can do in Ghana when we go next year.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>(Original text)</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>I'm going to cycle around the Isle of Arran on or near 6th August 2011 (depending on the weather). It's a total of 57 miles, and it's quite hilly, so it will be hard work - plus I need to get back to where I started in time for the last ferry back!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So don't be shy - I need some serious encouragement!</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;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&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks very much. Remember how much further your donations go in Ghana.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks, too, to everyone who has pledged money offline by writing on my sponsor forms (that's the 'Offline donations' figure).</p>
