My story

Hello Everybody....
My daughter Emilija was born was born 10 weeks prematurely in the Buscot Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at the Royal Berkshire Hospital, Reading.

Emilija was born with a hole in the heart and many other complications. She survived thanks to the skill and dedication of the staff on the Buscot ward. And thanks to the very expensive technology they have there.

Thankfully, Emilija is now a very healthy (and occasionally naughty) 3 year old that can live her life to the full. We would dearly like to give something back to all those who gave so much for the care of my daughter and to help other babies and their families who may need them in the future.

The (overly ambitious) Plan…
In return for your very kind donation, I will undertake 3 major rides as detailed below. For those of you that know me well, I’m clearly no Lance Armstrong and I’m prepared to suffer for your donation.

Cyclosportive - Sussex North Downs, March 8 – 100KM http://www.swrc.org.uk/word_docs/SpringSportiveRoute09.PDF - DONE!!

Chiltern Challenge – Chiltern Hills, June 28 – 100KM http://www.routeyou.com/route/view/12093/cycling-route-chiltern-challenge-100km.en- Uncle Sander will also ride the Chiltern Challenge in support of BIBS and all on Buscot.... Thank you Uncle Sandy - DONE!!

Surrey 100 – July 19 - 100 miles ... (back to the infamous Box Hill and Leith Hill) http://www.routeyou.com/route/view/21320/cycling-route-amr-surrey-100-bike-ride.en?utm_source=http%3A

Thanks you very much for your support,

Paul.

P.S. If I raise enough money, I will shave my legs and don lycra!

*Update* As I have now passed the target amount..... I have now shaved my legs. They are very very pale! check out http://www.photobox.co.uk/my/album?album_id=102004784
