My story

THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY FUNDRAISING PAGE

**** LATEST NEWS......

I didn't receive my passport on time so instead of cycling London to Paris, I am now doing London to Edinburgh.

On Wednesday 8th September 2009 I intend to start my cycle ride from London to Edinburgh - a journey of over 650 kilometers which will last for 4 days and 3 nights. My iternary is as follows:

London To Bedford

Bedford to Nottingham & Nottingham to Sheffield or Darlington

Darlington to Berwick or Eyemouth or Dunbar

Finally to Edinburgh

I can hardly ride a bike so why am I cycling to Edinburgh? Because I think it is time for an adventure and a challenge and in doing so I am hoping to raise some money for CHICKS charity .

This charity focuses on helping disadvantaged children (i.e. children who have experienced a range of social and personal problems including ABUSE, NEGLECT, POVERTY, LIVING IN CARE, etc) and providing them care, support, and a week long respite break. These children who come to CHICKS grow up in difficult and stressful situation where their childhood has been taken away from them. This charity aims to give these children a gift of 'hope' for the future.

I have to raise a minimum of £1000 before the 17th June 2009 and then i have another 4 weeks after the ride to raise another £250. If everybody who reads this donates I will reach my target of £1250. It's a modest target and I'd be pleased to raise it for such a worthy cause.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Country Holidays for Inner City Kids (CHICKS) 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 me now Let's make some MEMORIES TODAY !! Lets make SOME DREAM'S come true !!!

I know we can do it. Together WE CAN and WE WILL make a difference !!

Thank you ... Thank you ... Thank you !!!

Kind Regards and Best wishes
