Story

<p>Hola!</p> <p>Firstly, let me thank you for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page. Let me tell you a little more about why you are looking at it:</p> <p>On March 26th this year, I left Britain for a journey across both a continent and a country. In 8 days, we cycled from the Gulf of Mexico&nbsp;through farmland, over mountains and&nbsp;across flat hot plains to the Pacific Ocean. 650km, 8 days, temperatures in the 40's and the worst fly and mozzie bites I have ever experienced.</p> <p>Luckily, it was all in the name of a very good cause - Macmillan Cancer Support - a charity very close to my heart. As a group, we have raised over &pound;150 000. I'd like to raise a little bit more, and meet my target of &pound;3500 - your sponsorship will help me achieve this.</p> <p>This cycle was the hardest thing I have ever done. But, in the process I met an amazing group of people - including cancer survivors and sufferers - I learnt so much about myself and I've made some friends for life. It was the best thing I have ever done, and I will treasure the memories forever.</p> <p>Your details are safe with JustGiving &ndash; they&rsquo;ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they&rsquo;ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it&rsquo;s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.</p> <p>Thank you so much for your time and your support - it means so much. Together we &nbsp;got&nbsp;Mims to Mexico - let's get her to her fundraising target!</p> <p>Mims</p>
