My story

 

Hello Everyone,

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

On 24th May I will be cycling from Bordeaux to Avignon covering some 540 miles and climbing around 12,000 metres over the Massif Central including the 'Puy Mary' - an infamous climb often included in the Tour De France.  I will be using a road bike for this trip although the Penny Farthing may come out for a few of the flattter sections.

Again this year I will be supporting Cancer charities - particularly important to me this year as my mother is struggling with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. But we ALL know someone who has has been affected by this horrible disease.

As you will know I have been an organiser of these events for over twelve years now and our charity, through these cycling events, has now raised over £2.35 million for charitable causes.  In these difficult economic times charities are suffering more than most organisations but their work is so vital, so please, if you can, sponsor me!

One important objective of our charity is that EVERY PENNY that is raised by the event is donated to charity. We can do this because each cyclist pays the full entry cost for the trip from their own pocket.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Challenge Adventure Charities 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 me now!

Many thanks,

Chris
