<p>hello</p> <p>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.&nbsp;</p> <p>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.</p> <p>So i'm pretty sure it'll hurt.</p> <p><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US">Madagascar</span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"> is one of the poorest countries in the world.</span><span style="font-family: Arial; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"> Money for Madagascar is a UK charity established in 1986 to fund practical, &ldquo;no frills&rdquo; development projects initiated and managed by Malagasy partner organisations. </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial;"><span style="font-size: small;">there's loads more info on their website: </span><a href="http://www.moneyformadagascar.org/"><span style="font-size: small;">www.moneyformadagascar.org</span></a><span style="font-size: small;"> and blog </span><a href="http://moneyformadagascar.blogspot.com/"><span style="font-size: small;">http://moneyformadagascar.blogspot.com/</span></a><span style="font-size: small;">and there's even a short film at </span></span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #2a2a2a; mso-ansi-language: FR;" lang="FR"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIZocDocQsA&amp;feature=mfu_in_order&amp;list=UL" target="_blank"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small;">www.youtube.com/watch?v=lIZocDocQsA&amp;feature=mfu_in_order&amp;list=UL</span></span></a>&nbsp;and </span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #2a2a2a; mso-ansi-language: FR;" lang="FR"><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLzCh6P0d1w&amp;feature=mfu_in_order&amp;list=UL" target="_blank"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small;">www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLzCh6P0d1w&amp;feature=mfu_in_order&amp;list=UL</span></span></a></span><span style="font-family: Arial; color: #2a2a2a; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></p> <p>Oh and no, I'm not doing it on a Boris Bike, but hopefully the picture made you smile and hopefully you'll donate.</p> <p> <p>Thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks for donating.</p> <p>matt &nbsp;</p> </p>
