My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

On 28th June I am joining a group of 45 cyclists who are cycling from Parmoor (just outside Marlow) to Paris. Day one will take us to Brighton.  Then on day two we will take the ferry from Newhaven to Dieppe and cycle through Northern France. Hopefully, we'll be arriving in Paris late on day three.

I've not done much cycling since my teens so this will be a real challenge for me and also a great opportunity to raise some money for a worthy cause.

My youngest son, Henry, was born at Oxford's John Radcliffe Maternity Unit in December 2009. Due to the quick thinking of the team and specialist staff resource available, Henry arrived safely. By raising money for the Maternity Unit, I want to help them continue to offer this level of care.

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please dig deep and donate now.

Thanks

Richard
