My story

Message from Mark Wilkinson

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

As you know my fitness levels in 2009 were at an all time low, too much travel and food and not enough exercise.

I could not actually go on the ride I was scheduled to take part in in November 2010, but I am now scheduled to complete the ride in October 2011.

My aim in 201l is to get back to a high level of fitness and do my bit for charity. Not just giving some time, but do some fund raising too. I am going to cycle 700k across Vietnam to raise money for Alzheimer's, and i have re-set my target at seven thousand pounds.

Please donate, its for a good cause, don't wait for comic relief or Pudsey bear, donate now to some one you know and can relate to.

 If you are a golfer you will be getting an invitation to my golf day in late May which is another fundraiser for  Alzheimer’s UK.

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 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 cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.
