UPDATE:

Both Lucy and I completed the 101 miles in just under eight hours ride time. We were joined by sixty five other riders and all but one finished. We were blessed with good weather, and although we rode into the wind for long periods, the rain held off.

A big thank  you to all that supported this ride!

 

 

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

Ride for Rachel was the inspiration of Rachel's uncle, Martin Smith who will be cycling with over 65 other riders, me included, 101 miles from Cossington in Leicestershire to Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk. Many more cyclists will be joining in for the final 25 and 5 miles.

Rachel was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia in February 2005.  In the last year Rachel has undergone extensive chemotherapy which has obviously been very unpleasant for her but she has been extremely brave throughout and shown incredible resiliance, insisting on attending school and living as normal a life as possible. 

To make it easy for the riders to collect sponsorship you may have been asked to visit this website to make your donation here. Not only is it easier it also has the advantage of enabling the charity to claim back the tax if you are a UK tax payer.

All contributions are very much appreciated and will considerably help Macmillan Cancer Relief continue their tremendous work.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Macmillan Cancer Relief 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.  Ashley.
