This Saturday, the 26th March, at 8.30 to 9.30 is WWF's Earth Hour, where we all switch off our lights to show support for action on climate change. As a good WWF staff member, I'm heading along to Knightsbridge to pedal a bike-powered power station for 60 minutes, with 60 others, to run a projector beaming onto the Albert Hall!
That's all good fun, but I had a crazy notion that, to celebrate Earth Hour, WWF's 50th anniversary and to raise a bit of money, I'd ride there from WWF's home in Godalming - Panda House.
So, I'm going to ride the 33 miles from GU7 to SW7, then pop my bike on a stand with a dynamo and ride for another hour. Surely that's worth a few quids-worth of your money?
So please dig deep and donate now.
You're all lovely.
A.

Done! That was harder than I expected it to be. The ride to the Albert Hall was fine, but the static bike on top was a test of endurance and bottom comfort! Thanks so much to all if you for supporting me in this crazy notion. Hearing the JustGiving iPhone app ding with another donation as I was riding up a hill was like getting a big push. Bed now...
