My story

 

Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.

Brighton 2 Barcelona 19th June to 26th June. (new date)

It's a big task, two slightly rotund forty + year old's (I know we don't look it!) cycling from Brighton to Barcelona in 7.5 days. Thats a massive journey of 750 miles and we are doing a "Von Trap" at the end and climbing up through the Pyrennes before free wheeling down into Barcelona.

Help us along the way by donating as much as you can to Chestnut Tree House, the only childrens hospice in Sussex ( www.chestnut-tree-house.org.uk/ ). It's a fantastic place full of fantastic people and we want to do our best to keep it that way. Take a look at the website, read about the marvelous staff and the wonderfully brave children and you will know why its so important for us to raise as much money as we can. 

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Chestnut Tree House Children's Hospice  gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor us now!

Thanks very much!

By the way just in case you don't know us Vince is in the Yellow jersey, breathing in as much as he can and no he didn't get the yellow jersey by winning the race!
