Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

In September 2011 thirteen intrepid Sheffield Haworth employees are taking on the challenge of cycling from London to Paris in three days.  We will be setting off from the Sheffield Haworth offices on Thursday 8^th September and plan to arrive in Paris on Saturday 10^th.  This will be a huge challenge as we aim to cover over 90 miles each day which will involve many painful hours in the saddle!

We are taking on this MAD challenge in order to raise money for the SMA Trust, which is a charity that means a great deal to all of us taking part.  SMA is a devastating, genetic disease. It is a leading genetic killer of infants and toddlers. The SMA Trust is the only UK charity dedicated solely to funding research into this debilitating condition. Scientists are making significant progress in finding a cure, for which we need your help.

I am aiming to raise £1000 towards the team’s total in order to help the SMA Trust fund the vital research they are doing into finding a cure. 

I would really appreciate your support and encouragement for this event as I have never cycled this distance before and most of you know that it has been a very long time since I've taken on a Sports challenge... Please help me make a difference to each of these children's lives and take on this MAD challenge!

Please give generously to this fantastic cause.

Thank you.
