My story

 

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please dig deep and sponsor me online.  I'm aiming for £10 a mile, and so far (Tuesday 14th October) the figure is around a magnificent £10.49 a mile, which is amazing!  Thank you to every one of my sponsors for a tremendous effort.  The online ones are shown below, but great support has also come in to the office here in Ballynahinch or to me personally in wee envelopes.  I can't list all the offline ones anywhere else, so here they are, and forgive me if I've inadvertently left anyone out:

Monty; David & Nicola; Tommy & Katie; Stan & Val; Myra; Magherahamlet Mothers' Union; Robert & Annie; David & Margaret P; Darren & Sarah; Gary; Angela; Brian & Evelyn; Ed & Liz; Rachel; Monica; Marriott Creative; Kathryn; Rosemary; Brian & Cheryl; Iris and Sally; John & Mary; Mervyn & Liz; Vera; David & Margaret H; Barry & Pat; Stephen & Ali; Stansfield Charitable Trust; Andrew; Jennifer H; Jim & Maureen; Robert & Ann; Cecil & Irenee; Liz; David & Denise; Stephen & Ruth; Alistair & Marge; Roger; Tommy; Jeremy & Jana; Phil & Jackie; Sylvia; David & Judith; Jennifer A; Edgar & Winifred; Conor & Sandra; Isobel; Ian & Tina, Philip & Rosebud; Pop & Mum; Jim & Nora; Crawford & Gwen; Betty; Lloyd & Elaine; David & Darlene; Tim & Karen; Denis & Dorothy.

Our aim is to raise significant help for six big projects in our Area, and you can see the details of the projects on the Bike Ride website.

The Ride is over now, and it was brilliant.  You can read more about it on my blogpage and see some photos: www.jdbikerideacrossamerica.blogspot.com  Thanks for anything you can do.  It will be greatly appreciated by the folks who will benefit, and I will be greatly encouraged.

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

PS: The photo shows Arek and me cresting the Brandon Pass in New Hampshire (I think), one of the worst climbs on the whole route, where several sections were 1:5
