Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. I'm raising money for the Alistair Roberts Memorial Fund (ARMF), set up in memory of Alistair Roberts. It's aim is to provide a financial subsidy for young people without the financial means who wish to go to Lourdes as volunteers to care for the disabled. Personally, I have loved going there and this is a great way to help others experience Lourdes for themselves. The link to the site is:

Mike Cumming-Bruce and I are cycling down to Lourdes this summer. Currently our aim to cycle the 600 miles (960 km) from London to Lourdes  in less than ten days, camping or cheap hostels. Roughly that's 8 days cycling at 75 miles a day, with one day leeway for fatigue or injury and a day to rest before the pilgrimage itself, as I reckon I'll be pretty knackered by then - The final day will be about 1,000 feet climb! 



(From JustGiving.com: 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.)
