This November Francis (my partner in crime) and I will be donning the Lycra (hot) and cycling 411kms through the "hills" of west Kenya. That's 5-days of 8-10hrs a day pedalling...in Lycra! Why? It's for the International Childcare Trust - a small charity doing brilliant work to help some of the most vulnerable and extremely poor children in Kenya, Tanzania, India, Sri Lanka and Cambodia.
We're gunning for the ambitious target of £5,000 which is no small feat so we're offering special one-off incentives for those of you who donate BIG. If you sponsor us:
£500 - We'll ride one day in a Lycra outfit of your choice (think Wonder Woman, Blades of Glory, something of your own creation, etc)
£1,000 - Both Francis and I will ride one day wearing complementary Lycra ensembles (think... http://www.bladesofglorymovie.com/ ) £3,000 - We'll ride one day in any costume of your choice (think.. pink panther, a biker from the blue oyster bar, the tinman, but remember we are 2000 feet above sea level, in Africa and it is going to be hot!!) £5,000 - Francis and I will ride one day wearing nothing but our helmets and sunscreen (subject to agreement by the charity!) Syndicates are OK...so if a few of you want to pool together and chip in to embarrass us as we pass a Masai Mara village we won't hold it against you...forever. All of which will be faithfully documented by me; charneymagri.com and shown at my exhibition upon our return. If you can't make it to Kenya to see the action, then you're more than welcome to meet us for a training ride along the Embankment at 7:30am any morning...or just wave from the roadside and throw us the odd sports drink, scotch egg or bacon sarnie. We would deeply appreciate if you can take the few minutes out of your busy schedules to sponsor us now. Thank you so much. Expect to hear more from us as the outfits get announced!
