My story
Sponsor Us...Please!
Andrew Woolfall, Steven Meyerhoff and Scott Bell have joined forces with other organisations to cycle from London to Paris, raising vital funds for Transaid.
But we go on step further...
Our three lawyers will start the journey from our office in Clitheroe; ironically cycling more miles travelling to London than cycling from London to Paris!
We only have a short time to raise funds and therefore the heat is on!
If you would like to sponsor the trio and hear about their trials and tribulations along the way, please do so by clicking on the donate button or text VAE172 to 70070 (and type £1, £2, £10, £20)
Thank you!
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.
So please dig deep and donate now.

Misson Accomplished! Thank you all so much for your donations and best wishes. We've finally made it! 760 km, Clitheroe to Paris.
Day # 1 - TICK, visit the home of GB Olympic cycling hero Bradley Wiggins where we stopped off for the obligatory photo at his golden post box and then on the way out of Eccleston saw the mural on the Windmill pub dedicated to him.
Our journey has begun!! It has been a difficult first day with us completing the highest daily mileage of the whole trip (86 miles) and also going through the hilliest section of the day (over 1000 meters of vertical climbing). Lots of memorable moments though...
THE FINAL PUSH... We are now in the final two weeks of preparation; daily bike rides, rigorous training sessions, early morning runs not to mention the removal of anything sweet from our diet...so roll on the ride so we can resume normality and enjoy a cake or two!
Hello from training camp Tour de Backhouse Jones! Sincere thanks to everyone who has donated funds so far. We really do appreciate your generosity and the daily bing of donations has given us the momentum towards the final push. Only two weeks to go...roll on the ride!
