Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.  Many of you have been here before and given very genorously, which is great.  So old or new its that time again:

On the weekend of 16/17 May I'm taking part in the CLIC 24hr Mountain bike ride.  You can  visit the event web site at www.clic24.org.uk for more information.  Over the years this event has raised a huge amount of money for the charity CLIC Sargent.  They provide support for children suffering from cancer and their families.   Check out their work at http://www.clicsargent.org.uk/Home . 

The event takes place on the Mendip Hills - my patch.  The organiser is a local man.  Last year he lost his wife to cancer and this year has asked us "make it personal".  So this time I'm going solo.  That's 24hr riding my bike.  Non-stop.  This year the event starts with a special lap, all 500 riders ridng together as a tribute to the life of an absent friend or in support of a sick one.  I'll be riding in memory of Jessica Lister.

I hope that all this gives you a good enough reason to reach for your card and give some money.  I know that the guys behind the charity and the event work incredibly hard - something that humbles my 24 hours in the saddle.

Thankyou for reading my page.  I'll update you all on how it goes - when I've recovered, but please sponsor me now!
