My story

 

Thanks for visiting my fundraising page!  Your donation will help Classrooms for Cambodia raise money for HOPE Worldwide in order to build a much needed school for children in Cambodia.

The Etape du Tour is a famous amateur cycling event, consisting of riding a stage of the Tour de France prior to the pros racing the same stage. The stage I will be riding, along with about 8,000 other cyclists from around the world, covers 172km and five "categorized" climbs, including a finish up the 21 km-long Mont Ventoux. It's a classic bike ride and will be the biggest challenge I've taken on as a recreational cyclist.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: HOPE Worldwide 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.

Many thanks for your support -- and don't forget to forward this to anyone who you think might want to donate too!

HOPE Worldwide is the UK partner charity of American Assistance for Cambodia (AAfC). AAfC is the "on the ground" organisation that will be adminstering the funds Noelle and I raise through our project Classrooms for Cambodia. For more information on our project, please visit www.classroomsforcambodia.com.
