Story

<p>&nbsp;</p> <p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;; color: #1c1c1c;">We are Chris, Mike and Ed and our aim is to&nbsp;raise &pound;3000 for the MS Trust; a charity which helps support those suffering from MS, and every extra pound we raise helps the charity to 'enable people with MS to live their lives to the full.'&nbsp;</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;,&quot;serif&quot;;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c;">Our aim is to cycle 1250 miles in roughly 2 weeks! We acknowledge this will be very challenging given the August heat and the arduous route negotiating the Alps, where we will tackle three major climbs, the highest being Alpe d'Huez at 1860m. We will face 21 hairpin bends, up an average ascent of 8% over nearly 14km, certainly something to look forward to!</span><span style="color: #1c1c1c;">&nbsp;However we believe that this challenge should be very tough in order to raise as much money as possible for the MS Trust.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c;">The reason we have chosen to raise money for the MS Trust, is because I (Chris) could develop MS due to problems in the past. As a result I am very lucky to have two amazing friends that are willing to cycle such a long way, in the heat, to help me raise as much money for the MS Trust as possible, as it's a charity I really do care about.&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline; border-style: initial; border-color: initial; outline-width: 0px; outline-style: initial; outline-color: initial; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c;">&nbsp;</span></p> <p style="margin: 0cm; margin-bottom: .0001pt; line-height: 14.25pt; vertical-align: baseline;"><span style="color: #1c1c1c;">Thank you for taking the time to read this far and if you would like to sponsor us we would appreciate every penny!&nbsp;</span></p> <p>&nbsp;</p>
