Story

Thank you for taking the time to visit my Just Giving page !

As I said at my Birthday, a couple of better looking friends and I are raising money for Dingley Wish Fund. Dingley is a very special place at Reading Hospital. They look after kiddies and families of kiddies facing a whole range of development challenges, from Cerebral Palsy through to learning difficulties. The reason we want to raise a whole bunch of money for Dingley is to help them afford to buy bikes for kids - specifcally kiddies trikes. These trikes are not available on the NHS, the Hospital relies on charitable donations to help wishes come true for kiddies

I met Ben a few years ago. His Daddy, Nick is a keen cyclist who does his bit. But this is a story about Ben and listening to him talk about the Paralympics which he watched avidly. After yet another amazing Track Gold Ben said to his Daddy..."I want to go to the Olympics and cycle". And that struck a chord with all of us. By helping us raise money, maybe we can encourage a whole new group of kids to fly the flag...!

Donating through JustGiving is really simple, fast and 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 and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and saving me harassing you and better, it cuts admin costs for charities.

So please dig deep and donate now
