My story

 

This will be the sixth year in a row that a group of rather mad people from various technology groups in the BBC will cycle to IBC in Amsterdam. This year we've made it a bit more difficult. In the interests of being more British and less London-centric, a number of us will be starting out in Cardiff. The Cardiff group will start on on the 7th of September and meet up with others in London on the 9th of September and continue on to Amsterdam, arriving on the 11th.

Surely this kind of madness deserves to be encouraged. All money raised will go to Children in Need. Please dig deep and sponsor us.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: BBC Children in Need will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor us now!

Many thanks for your support.
