Story

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">In the first couple of weeks in March I am going to be cycling to raise money for the fantastic charity Maternity Worldwide in the mountains of the Himalayas. During this time I will be cycling up and down the equivalent height of Everest (8,848m) not once but approx 1.5 times. Every day I will be cycling up about the same height as Britain&rsquo;s highest &ldquo;mountain&rdquo; Ben Nevis (1344m)- all this on a Brompton (folding bicycle) on the rather challenging roads of Sikkim.</span></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">Maternity Worldwide works to make childbirth safer in developing countries for more details of their work go to </span><a href="http://www.maternityworldwide.org/"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">www.maternityworldwide.org</span></a></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">Please sponsor me, all your money goes to the work of the charity (I have paid for all of the costs of the trip myself).</span></span></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
