Story
Eight old school friends are embarking on the challenge of
a lifetime together - nearly a decade after leaving school. We have decided to
cycle the fantastic London to Paris cycle route over a four-day
period from 19th to 22nd August 2009. We have organised and funded the
whole event ourselves (bikes, accessories, transport, accommodation &
clothing). In addition to cycling the 300+ mile route, we will be
transporting everything we need on our bikes with us. As well as being a
gruelling personal endurance challenge for each one of us 'amateur' cyclists, we
are also raising money for the Acorns Children's Hospice.
Acorns is a charity that cares for children that are
life-limited, and offers suitable support to their families. More information
about the charity and the valuable service they offer can be found at www.acorns.org.uk.
The team of Carter, Clatworthy, Drew, Soave,
Teasdale, Twine, Ward and Waring would all greatly appreciate your
support if you would be kind enough to offer a donation (no matter how small) to
the charity of our choice. None of us have experienced a physical and mental
challenge of this nature previously, but with your kind support, we know we will
succeed, raise money for a good cause and hopefully enjoy ourselves in the
process!!
