Story

Hello!!

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Myself and a couple of work friends are taking part in a cycle challenge at the end of February 2010.  Over 8 days we'll be cycling 525 kilometers (325 miles), from Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam, through the rice-paddies and waterways of the Mekong Delta and into Cambodia and on to the Royal Temples of Angkor Wat.  Yes it sounds beautiful and I'm certain it will be but probably at the painful cost of walking like John Wayne and not being able to sit down for the rest of the year.  I've never done anything like this before so I think it may be a (slight!) shock.  I've been in training clocking up the miles in the cold and wind (although in the past couple of weeks, the snow has kept me confined to the exercise bike a little bit more!) 

I need to raise a pretty large amount - £3500 to be exact but I’ve already managed to get £1500 from work and from other activities/donations so that leaves another £2000 to which I hope to raise from your generosity.

Your donation will go towards 'Engineers Against Poverty' which is a great cause and they're working hard for self sustainability, education and training towards the poorer areas of the world. (More details on the left) 

Thank you so much for taking the time to read this and I hope to see you soon.
