I done it. 310 miles, lots of laughs, a few tears, blisters, sores, aches, stings and a very sore bum!

One of the best experiences of my life! Come on, give me £5 for Mind, make all that pain worthwhile!

Please!

Not long to go now .... 9 days! :-)

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you may know by now I'm cycling 300 miles from London - Paris in September 2010. This is to raise awareness & a bit of cash for Mind, the leading mental health charity in England & Wales. 

You may, or may not, know that I had a problem with self-harming and after a bad few months Mind helped me understand the condition a bit better and helped me stay 'un-cut' for nearly 5 years now. I thought it was about time I gave something back and decided to take part in this event. 

Any support you can give will be greatly appreciated and would mean so much to me. I have a huge target to reach so if you could also let your friends know and perhaps even your work colleagues so they could donate too.

If you're around any of the route it would be fab if you could come out and cheer us all on. I'll post the route a bit closer to the time. It's through North Kent, Canterbury, Stone Street, Cheriton and onto Dover through Folkestone but once I know the finer details I'll post either on here or my blog.

Oh yeah, you can keep up to date with my blog at dizzyjojo1980.wordpress.com. I'll be writing about my training as well as the sponsorship issues and other events I'll be holding to raise money for the main event. Possibly also some bits about my personal life too! Eek

Other fundraising stuff I am doing is holding a DJ Competition, selling off donated items, raffling off donated items - email me for further details on everything . . . . dizzyjojo@live.co.uk

Now for the technical stuff . . . . 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now! Thank you so much, anything you can give at all will be great.

Wish me luck
