Story
For those of you that don't already know on 24th October 2009, Jason
(On the left - mysteriously known to most as Taylor) and Chris (on the right - known to most
as Ponty) will be mounting bicycles and pedalling across the notorious Death
Valley in an attempt to raise as much money as possible for East Anglia's
Children's Hospices (E.A.C.H.)
This would be a mammoth task even for a seasoned cyclist, but we both openly admit that 'seasoned' is certainly not a word that could be used to describe our cycling abilities. In fact just a few weeks ago we were complete beginners! But we've both been working our socks off and will be pushing ourselves to our physical limits by spending 4 days cycling across a desert with temperatures hitting 100 degrees and climbs of over 3500 feet – not to mention the population of coyote and mountain lion!

The only thing that
could possibly make something like this worthwhile is knowing we'll be making a
huge difference to the lives of children with life threatening
conditions, children that may never experience all of the things we take for granted
as adults
We're organizing this event ourselves, the equipment, the tents, the Vaseline (Vaseline for chapped thighs rather than the long lonely desert nights) the celebratory steak when we reach our goal and the medical assistance if we don't! With your help we can smash through our target of £5000 to help those wonderful children at EACH.
Thanks for visiting our fundraising page.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It's also the most efficient way to sponsor us: East Anglia's Children's Hospices gets your money faster and, if you're a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.
So please sponsor us now!
