My story

 

Thank you for visiting our fundraising Page.

On the 5th of September this year, 46 cyclists and support crew will travel from Leicester to Biarritz in the South of France to embark on a punishing cycle challenge, taking in the beautiful sights and undulating roads of the Pyrenees.

With an average of 70 miles per day for 5 days, this challenge will be both grueling and painful.

The team are training very hard and any donation at this stage would be greatly  appreciated to encourage them to battle on.

If you wish to sponsor a particular cyclist please record this in the comments section.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Hope Against Cancer 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.

Good luck, Paul. Hope the lycra pants do the business. Donation by Sue & Pat Lawrence 17/07/08
