<p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>31 DAYS BEHIND BARS...</strong></p> <p>Hello again, and thank you for visiting my page.<br /><br />Last year I cycled from Gibraltar to Blackpool and managed to raise over &pound;8000 for the British Legion, thanks to you.<br /><br />I must have a patchy memory because I've forgotten how bad that was and as a result have decided to go for the <strong>big one</strong>, which means cycling from Los Angeles to Boston starting Easter Sunday<strong>...3500 miles forward and 100000' up</strong>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Why am I doing this?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><span><span>1)<span style="font: 7pt 'Times New Roman';"> </span></span></span>I think I might have a dodgy memory- did I mention that?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>2) Last July we saw our friend and colleague Linda Wright pass away after a real battle against cancer. She spent the last three weeks of her life being cared for by the wonderful staff at Trinity Hospice, near Blackpool.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Perhaps Trinity Hospice&nbsp;isn't too familiar to&nbsp;you: all I can say is that they provide&nbsp;specialist palliative care for adults and children who have life limiting illnesses. Last year my colleagues and I&nbsp;saw&nbsp;how the great people at Trinity can make a difference.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm covering all the costs of this madness, so you know that whatever you&nbsp;give will go to&nbsp;make a difference. And if you are a U.K. taxpayer <strong>please use the GiftAid option </strong>which allows these charities to reclaim an extra 28% on top of whatever you give.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Plus, <strong>for every &pound;1000 of sponsorship raised on either site, I will donate &pound;200.</strong></p> <p><strong>&nbsp;</strong></p> <p>Thank you for your support- it means a lot.&nbsp;</p> <p>ps This page is for donation to the fantastic Trinity Hospice: if you would like to donate to Macmillan Cancer Support&nbsp;please visit my other page <a href="https://www.bmycharity.com/V2/C2CMAC">https://www.bmycharity.com/V2/C2CMAC</a></p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>One more thing: I'll be trying to keep a blog going at <a href="http://c2cmac.blogspot.com/">http://c2cmac.blogspot.com/</a></p>
