My story

 

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.. and thank you for your support!

OK, so here's the deal.

For years we have been talking about how fantastic it would be to do a challenge of some sort, see the world and raise some dosh for a well deserving joint, but we nervously, we never set a date.

After years all these of discussions (and maybe a few too many cheeky glasses of wine) we have eventually taken the plunge and signed up to the ride of our lives! 

And it will be a challenge...We have chosen to support The Christie as we think it is a wheely good cause!! We will be cycling for 83KM per day for 6days straight across Vietnam at the most humid time of the year... journeying from Hanoi to Sapa - mostly up hill!

We have both been touched by this great charity and are so proud of the amazing work the staff at Christie's carry out. We know first-hand the unbelievable support they give to family and friends and of course, the outstanding care they provide for their patients.

There is never a bad word said about these incredible, unsung heroes, and we want to show them how much they mean to their community by raising funds to support their continued good work and important cancer research.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity (and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer) 

We will be keeping everybody updated via our blog...
