My story

 

Thanks for visiting my JustGiving page and I'm delighted to report that I completed the India Bike Ride. It was an amazing experience - not just India and everything that it throws at you, but also riding with a dozen or so Norwood residents, many with quite severe learning difficulties and other challenging conditions.  They coped fantastically on the back of tandems despite the heat, the inevitable Delhi belly and the terrible road conditions. It really was very special to see their enjoyment in taking part as well as the amazing work done by their Norwood carers.

 
Although I've already reached my fund-raising target through the enormous generosity of friends, family, clients and professional contacts, I'm still really keen to raise as much as I can so please do donate. Having now seen first hand what a great job Norwood does, I can assure you every penny raised will be put to very good use by an amazingly professional and warm-hearted team of carers (details of the work done by Norwood are on the left).  

A big thank you in anticipation.

Best  wishes

Andrew (now half a stone lighter)

P.S. In case you've never used JustGiving before, it's simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails (so they say). 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.
