<p>Hi & welcome to my 2011 JustGiving page.</p>
<p>Last year my MD and I cycled across the South of England visiting our branches as we went travelling over 400 miles and raising nearly £6,000 for Homeless charities and Help For Heroes. My new challenge is to take on the John O'Groats to Lands End (JOGLE) ride in June covering nearly 1000 miles in just 9 days, that is over 100 miles per day!</p>
<p>With several other riders from the property industry we are enduring all this pain to raise money for Shelter and start in Scotland on Saturday 11th June. Any donation you feel you can give would be very much appreciated as well as being matched by our parent company Legal and General. </p>
<p>Estate Agents are all too often given a bad press but our group has worked hard to raise many tens of thousands in the last 2 years for those less fortunate than many of us. I feel very passionate about the cause for which I am raising money and know that in these hard times it may be difficult to raise money, however, please give whatever you can as ALL the money I raise goes to charity.</p>
<p>Beyond the aim of raising as much money as possible, this is also a personal mission where I hope to lose weight as well as achieve something I have wanted to do for a long time.</p>
<p>I have started a blog where you can follow my progress so check out <a href="http://www.rab2011.wordpress.com" target="_blank">rab2011.wordpress.com</a> but please also follow me on Twitter <a title="@xperiencefran" href="http://www.twitter.com/xperiencefran" target="_blank">@xperiencefran</a> for on route updates and other bits & pieces.</p>
<p>Thank you for your time</p>
