My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.

On the 23rd August 2008 myself and 12 others will be attempting the Coast-to-Coast cycle ride from Workington in Cumbria to Tynemouth near Newcastle (a total distance of 145 miles).  We will be attempting to complete this within 3 days, which is quite a challenge.

We are undertaking this challenge to raise sponsorship for Cancer Research UK.  Most people know or are aware or someone who has been affected by cancer, so it seems a logical charity to choose for an event this size.

In addition to riding from Coast to Coast in August, the following people; Graham McCrindle, Michelle Higgs, Paul Johnson and Sean McGilligan have all signed up to take part in this years Northern Rock Cyclone Challenge http://www.northernrockcyclone.co.uk/  a ride that has been described as "for those who want a challenge, a hilly route and not to be entered without a little previous training",  It ascends 1217M (3993ft) in 62 miles.

In further addition Michelle Higgs is taking part in a 5Km run on the 12th of July.  Called "Race for Life", it also raises money for Cancer Research.  Michelle has a dodgy knee, which may or may not fall off during this race and there it is definitely worth some sponsorship!

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.

Andrew plus 12 others
