WHAT?
Over the course of 12 days (depart 7th Aug) we will cycle from the North to the South of France. The intended route is from Roscoff, in the North-west of France, cutting through Brittany then hugging the Atlantic French coast to Bilbao, in the North of Spain, amounting to a distance of 700 miles.
The challenge will be unsupported which adds a whole new dimension to what we are setting out to achieve. The summer heat combined with the gruelling Atlantic wind will make the 12 days some of the toughest we have each individually encountered.
WHY?We therefore would like to ask you for your support by sponsoring us and raise money for theLondon children’s charity Friends United Network.This is a fantastic cause which provides long-term one-to-one friendship and support to children in need (aged 5-16 on referral) and growing up in socially isolated, lone parent families. FUN volunteer befrienders commit to taking a child out every week for about 3-4 hours over a minimum of 2 years. At a time when so many people and organisations are looking for quick fixes for the problems in society, FUN continues to believe that, making a lasting difference, takes time, care and commitment.
Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Friends United Network 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 make our pain worthwhile and sponsor us now!
