Our personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.  I'm aiming for £10 a mile!

Although the Ride Across America event will last for eight weeks, I plan only to ride for the first one (over The Rockies, unfortunately!) and the last two, as I don't think it would be fair to Maisie to leave her looking after Sarah for any longer.  That means that I will only be riding about 1400 miles if all goes well, but I will REALLY appreciate any sponsorship you can give towards that.  1p a mile would be £15, 10p would £150, 50p would be £750, and so on. 

Our aim is to raise significant help for six big projects in our Area - $30,000 for each of them if we reach our targets.  You can see the projects on the Bike Ride website.

Thanks for anything you can do.  It will be greatly appreciated by the folks who will benefit, and I will be greatly encouraged.

By the way, if you want to ride yourself, let me know.  You could still join me for the last two weeks, 1-15 August.  This will be the trip of a lifetime, and a tremendous accomplishment which you can boast about to your children and grandchildren.  When else will you get the chance to do something like this, where somebody else carries all your gear, arranges all your accommodation, provides all the food, sorts out the route - and all you have to do is to turn up fit and with some sponsorship!  It will be brilliant.

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Youth for Christ/Europe 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.

Blessings on you.
John Duncan
