Charity Cycle ride from Edinburgh to London October 2009
In October 2009, a team of 4 cyclists and 2 support team members will make their way from Edinburgh Castle to London. The 700 km journey will be made in 5 stages encompassing stays in: Newcastle, Thirsk, Doncaster, Leicester, and Oxford. Throughout, the team will engage in a number of charity and public relations initiatives.
Our aim is to provide an opportunity to participate in an arduous and challenging experience to fundraise for Cancer Research UK. Our goal is to raise approximately £3000. The team is composed of four cyclists of whom one is Contract Manager at Edinburgh Castle and former RAF Regiment Gunner, two serving RAF personnel and one former police officer, now solicitor. The support team are a serving Royal Air Force logistician and a Compass Group Senior Food Services Manager for Scotland.
About the Charities Cancer Research UK (http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/ ) is the world's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research. It supports research into all aspects of cancer through the work of more than 4,250 scientists, doctors and nurses. Over the past 10 years alone, thousands of lives have been saved through earlier detection and improved treatments however, much work remains to be done if they are to achieve their aim of beating Cancer.
What we want
In order to make this event an outstanding success, we are looking for local and national sponsorship to support the team on this gruelling journey. Your donation or sponsorship will allow the charities to come closer to reaching their objectives. To donate for Cancer Research UK, please follow the link below at the foot of this page. With our own professional photographer, Press Officer and dedicated and ever evolving website (www.bigbikeadventure.blogspot.com ) our aim is to promote your sponsorship through the widest possible exposure. Not only can we guarantee you coverage in the military and private sector, we are confident of coverage by local and national printed and broadcast media. We’ll also keep you updated of our progress through a daily blog. Whilst I appreciate you may sponsor other worthy causes, I sincerely hope our project and the positive publicity it will generate will invigorate you to join us in a mutually profitable partnership.
