My story

 

With a group of friends from my local pub, I have set myself a challenge for 2008 - cycling from the Broadlands RDA Centre in Medstead, Hants, via the The Star Inn, Bentworth and London, to the Eiffel Tower in Paris between 22nd and 26th July (see our website at www.team-star-inn.org.uk).

The event from London to Paris is being organised by a national charity for which the team is raising money elsewhere, but I really also want to raise as much as I can for my favourite local charity, Riding for the Disabled, Broadlands Group at Medstead http://www.broadlands-riding.co.uk/.

I am fat and old and unfit so this is a real challenge for me and will involve hours of training and loosing weight and then 5 days of cycling some 365 miles so please sponsor me for as much as you can (and as soon as you can to give me the encouragement I need to keep up the training).

Money donated on this page (less transaction charges) will go partly to the national RDA but mainly to the Broadlands group.

If you would rather pay by cash or cheque and/or make a pledge now to pay (by any means)  after I have completed the challenge then please contact me by email as soon as possible at zen19916@zen.co.uk

For more information please visit my webpage at www.zen19916.zen.co.uk/MedsteadParisBiking.htm or email me.


Note - the entry fee and any costs of the trip will NOT be coming out of the sponsorship and if you are a UK tax payer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Many thanks for your anticipated support.
