My story

 

Thank you very much for visiting my sponsorship page.  It's still not too late to contribute!

I'm raising money for Christian Aid, a great charity that helps the poorest people in the developing world, having just completed a 4 day cycle ride through the Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca.  Amongst other things, this involved a total vertical ascent equivalent to two thirds the height of Everest, including the Col de Puig Major (the "Big Pig"), a non-stop climb which took me an hour and three-quarters to complete!  I'm pleased to report, however, that I suffered no permanent injuries or ailments, only a little discomfort.

So far, with the generous support of others, I've raised over £5,000 in total including offline donations and gift aid.

For more than sixty years, Christian Aid has been providing relief to those hit by disaster, helping people help themselves out of poverty and speaking out against injustice. It helps people of all religions and nationalities.

Please tick the Gift Aid box if you are a UK tax payer as the UK Government will then give Christian Aid an additional 25% on the money that you donate.

Thanks again.

Phil
