My story
On 10 August, with my daughter Hannah as an expert guide, I started cycling from Land's End to John o'Groats (1000 miles), to celebrate birthdays and to raise funds for the British Academy. We celebrated Hannah's 40th birthday en route on 18 August, and my 70th on 29 August at John o'Groats. Then we went on to Orkney. 110 years between us! We reported our progress on LE JoG Blog on the British Academy website. An edited and illustrated version (available as a pdf file) forms the concluding item in The British Academy Review, no. 16.
We set a modest target of raising at least £2,000 -- £2 for each pleasurable and punishing mile! Actually we reached this target on Day 1 of the ride, but we always hoped to exceed this target comfortably. All the money will be used in a good cause. Your contribution will help maintain the Academy's independence, its capacity to act and its support for younger scholars at a time of cuts. So go on, support us to the tune of at least a penny a mile!
Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity - the British Academy - and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - we raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the British Academy. (If paying by cheque works better for you, it's best to send Adam a cheque made out to 'British Academy' at 10 Carlton House Terrace, London SW1Y 5AH, specifying that it's re LE JoG.)
So please dig deep and donate now.
