I will be cycling alone and unsupported along a route which takes me over the highest road passes in the Pyrenees. The distance is likely to be between 1,000 and 1,200 miles. All your sponsorship will go to PONT; I will personally be paying all costs associated with the trip. Please give generously to help us in our work in Uganda. Diolch. Thank you.</span></p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;">Update:16/8/11. Your generosity is amazing. My target of &pound;2115 (the height of Col du Tourmalet in metres) will soon be achieved. Therefore I have amended it to &pound;6939 - the height in feet!&nbsp;</span></p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
