Tuesday 27th May 2008 - We made it !!!

After around 15 hours in the saddle, we rolled into Paris along with the 42 other exhausted cyclists who participated this year.

At last count we had collectively raised around £120,000 for Christopher's Hospice.  This is a simply amazing achievement and Les Boulons - Tom, Rufus, Paul and Luke - sincerely thank all those who supported us from the bottom of our hearts.

But the fundraising doesn't end now - of course the good work at CHASE still needs further funding - so if you are at all moved or impressed by what we have achieved, or simply feel like helping out a deserving cause, please donate here today.

CHASE has an ongoing need for you support - We hope you will join us in continuing to support Christopher's Hospice in future fund raising efforts.

Many thanks from Les Boulons Rouillés:

***********

Tom, Rufus, Paul and Luke are taking on the 9 other teams racing across South England and Northern France in the annual London to Paris Cycle in May 2008.

The event is in aid of the Lachlan Armitage Tribute Fund (son of Iain and Charis Armitage), that benefits the CHASE hospice for life-limited children and their families.

Starting at the Peace Pagoda in Battersea early Saturday morning, we will head via the CHASE facility near Guildford, before hacking across the daunting South Downs.  We will overnight on a cross channel ferry, Southampton to Caen, and based on previous experience, after a sleepless night punctuated by our competion's raucous snoring, we will then navigate the highways and byways of Normandy, before hitting the Eiffel Tower on Monday lunchtime.

This is no easy effort on our part, but we give our sweat and tears willingly for this excellent cause.  We hope you will respond with equal effort by digging deep and pledging your pennies, no matter the amount, to this most deserving charity.

Many thanks from Les Boulons Rouillés:
Tom Coghill
Rufus Grantham
Paul Mathew
Luke Hacker
