Dear friends, at the end of June I will cycle from London toParis in 3 days – which is a total of 500km (c.320miles)! It's a major challenge which I'll share with some other friends. It's a long distance but the more you donate to Five Talents the less pain I will feel on the bike J. Any donations will help me get to the finish line (and believe me I need as much help as I can get!!). 

I support FIVE TALENTS UK (www.fivetalents.org.uk), a microfinance charity based in the UKwhich gives small loans and business training to the ‘active poor’ in developing countries.  I know this charity makes a real difference in supporting the sustainable development of some poor countries and I know the people working in theoffice and fully support what they do.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Five Talents UK gets your money faster and, if you’re ataxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!
