Story

hello

This August Bank Holiday, a couple of friends and I are setting off on a bit of an adventure. We're going to cycle from Lands End in deepest darkest Cornwall to John O'Groats in the Scottish Highlands. 

And we're going to do it in 8 days, which is the equivalent of doing the London to Brighton Bike ride twice a day for 8 days straight. And we'll be carrying all our stuff.

So i'm pretty sure it'll hurt.

Madagascar is one of the poorest countries in the world. Money for Madagascar is a UK charity established in 1986 to fund practical, “no frills” development projects initiated and managed by Malagasy partner organisations. there's loads more info on their website: www.moneyformadagascar.org and blog http://moneyformadagascar.blogspot.com/and there's even a short film at www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIZocDocQsA&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL and www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLzCh6P0d1w&feature=mfu_in_order&list=UL 

Oh and no, I'm not doing it on a Boris Bike, but hopefully the picture made you smile and hopefully you'll donate.

Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks for donating.
