My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

On July 1st  I will be be cycling from London to Paris.  Over 5 days we will cycle nearly 500km - which I'm sure  will be great fun!!  I am doing it with five friends to help raise money for Chelmsford Mencap Daybreak, which is a holiday play scheme my wife runs for disabled children.  All the money raised will help to take over 150 disabled children from all over Essex on day trips throughout the summer.

Many of these kids are severely disabled and don't get many opportunities for days out - this is a small charity and every penny raised will be spent directly on making sure these kids have a great summer - so PLEASE sponsor me!

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Chelmsford Mencap gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

guess what, I cycled to Yarmouth, walked through the market and stumbled across The Beatles doing an impromptu gig! - you should have been there! Donation by Well done from Phil, Pete and Loren 11/08/09
