<p>Hello!</p> <p>I've decided to put my stamina to the test by cycling through Vietnam and Cambodia in order to help the British Heart Foundation (BHF) carry on with their life saving work.</p> <p><br>Departing in early November 2011, I'm aiming to make it from Ho Chi Minh City (Saigon) to Angkor Wat in Cambodia (a distance of approx.&nbsp;450km) over 5 arduous days - cycling across some tough rural and off-road terrain.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>I'm no cyclist (yet) so this is going to be a big challenge for me! I'll be doing plenty of training between now and November and will keep all my sponsors updated with my progress via my <a title="Paul Minns Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/paulyminns">Facebook</a> and <a title="Paul Minns Twitter" href="http://twitter.com/#!/minnza">Twitter</a>.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>Although I'm not setting off until November I need to start fundraising now.&nbsp;I realise this is a tough time for everyone financially, but any donation would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p><strong>Please dig deep and sponsor me now!</strong></p> <p><br><em>Why am I doing this?</em><br><br>I'm doing this because the BHF save thousands of lives every year and rely on donations to help continue their ground-breaking research&nbsp;and vital health initiatives.<br><br>By setting myself this task I'm hoping to raise sponsorship money for the BHF, whilst getting myself into shape and doing something that inspires me to make a&nbsp;difference.<br><br>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the BHF and make sure Gift Aid is&nbsp;reclaimed. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.<br><strong>&nbsp;</strong><br>Thanks for your support!<br><br>Paul</p>
