From 5th-14th March 2009 three ladies from Mar Menor Golf Resort Kath Penny ,Carol Hegarty and myself Davina Rainbird shall be cycling 380kms across the countryside of Cuba in aid of the charity Women for Women .Many of you may know one if not all of us personally What started as a little after dinner conversation has now developed into the three of us committing to cycling the 380kms in Cuba , maybe it was too much wine !! but if the truth be known the charity is well worth the hours of training in the gym and on the bike that will be ESSENTIAL for us to meet this challenge .I KNOW we will succeed in the physical side , Its the sponsorship side where we need your help , our challenging target of £9000 means all of your donations will be much appreciated , here is an overview of the charity , im sure you will agree that its more than worth a " numb bum " Women for women specialise in the prevention , diagnosis and treatment of a range of devastating conditions , which cause cancer , miscarriage , infertility and genetic diseases such as cystic fibrosis or muscular dystrophy . Their fundamental aim is to improve women's ongoing health throughout their lives and to ensure that more women have a normal pregnancy with a healthy baby . Thank you for visiting our fundraising page. Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Women for Women will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Many thanks for your support.
