Fortunately for all those taking part, I am not, as the photo might suggest, planning on cycling to Paris naked.  A friend has mentioned though that by the time I get to the end, I will be feeling pretty much like I can do anything; maybe next time!

Thank you for visiting my sponsorship page.  You may be putting your money down in the thought that you will no doubt be getting it back, as there's no chance I will make it to the finish.  Or, you may just be a very generous soul who has slightly more faith in me.  Whatever your reason, please don't forget that the money is going to the very worthy charity, War Child

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: War Child 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.
