<p>Following the success of the original <strong>Tour De Blackett</strong> in 2009 when 7 of us cycled from Birmingham to Sheffield via the Peak District we have decided once again to raise money for the <strong>Huntington's Disease Association</strong>&nbsp;in memory of our dear friend <strong>Fraser Blackett</strong>........only this time it's going to be bigger and better and no doubt more painful........though hopefully dryer and less hills.</p> <p>On <strong>June 4th</strong>, the latest "Tour De Blackett" collective will cycle the approx <strong>400m</strong> distance of&nbsp;<strong>Birmingham to Paris</strong> (with a ferry crossing inbetween).&nbsp; We've learnt some lessons from the first tour.....though not enough to put us off such a mammoth challenge.</p> <p>We estimate the journey will take us approximately 5 days and although we did the first tour and some of us play rugby, squash and run marathons, none of us are athletes so this will be a huge challenge.</p> <p>We truely appreciate all your support and donations for such a great cause in memory of a very dear friend who we still miss.</p> <p>Many thanks,</p> <p>Matt, Jimmy, Pete, Dave, Michael and Jon</p> <p>Follow our journey here <a href="http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tour-De-Blackett-2-Birmingham-to-Paris/203018913044680">www.facebook.com/pages/Tour-De-Blackett-2-Birmingham-to-Paris/203018913044680</a></p> <p>or www.twitter.com/Tourdeblackett2&nbsp;</p>
