'Poor Circulation' Around The World Motorcycle Trip

In April 2008 I will be motorcycling around the world on my Triumph Tiger across Europe, Russia, Siberia, Japan, Alaska, Canada and North America. 22 countries and around 25000 miles!  The trip is called 'Poor Circulation' simply because after selling almost everything I have, and leaving my job to go, I'm left with a staggering £20 a day. But, using my ingenuity and my beautiful smile I'm sure I'll be fine! Mad? Maybe. Mad not to, definitely! I'm sure I'll be learning the phrase 'That bloke's a nutter' in many languages!

You can follow my adventures in the monthly magazine 'Rider's Digest' http://www.theridersdigest.co.uk/ or on my blog. http://poorcirculation2.blogspot.com/

Please give as much as you can to Farleigh Hospice to help them provide the extraordinary care they give to people in mid Essex with life limiting illnesses. Every £1 counts!

If you believe it's an unfriendly world then it always will be.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Farleigh Hospice will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
