Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.
Me and my fellow team mates are to ride 350 miles from London to Paris starting at Hampton Court on Thursday 24th June finishing at the Eiffel Tower on Saturday June 26th.
The event which has been running since 2004 is highly popular and was sold out within hours of this years entries going live. London-Paris has been ranked as one of the world's top participation events, alongside the London and New York marathons. Many illustrious sportsmen and celebrities have undertaken the challenging event in the past including: Stephen Roche (1987 Tour de France winner), James Cracknell, Sean Kelly, Brian Smith, Geoff Thomas and John Salako. This year Geoff Thomas and John Salako will be competing again along with Rebecca Romero (Olympic gold medallist) and Magnus Backstedt (ex pro cyclist and previous winner of the Paris Roubaix), Nigel Mansell and Will Carling.
To make all the hard training and the ride more worthwhile, we have decided to raise money for Macmillan. With the majority of the team having been effected in one way or another by cancer and the misery it generates the charity was an obvious choice. The aim is to raise as much as possible. Donations/pledges will be gratefully received.
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.
