85 km of Swiss Alps for Cancer Research
Fundraising for Cancer Research UK
Story
WE COMPLETED IT! and the first beers have been drunk :-) The results are below and photos can be seen right now at the sub domain http://19september2003.strawberrypost.com A HUGE THANK YOU to everyone who has sponsored us. Knowing how much we were raising was a great boost on the day.
The combined 85 km and +/- 2660 altitude metres of biking, in-line skating and running was a tremendous challenge for the 5 of us. The results are as follows;
- Andy; Bike 33.1 km, +390 m/-990 m (1hr 34)
- Matthias; Skate 11.8 km, +420 m/-10 m (48 mins)
- Richard; Run 13.7 km, +1360 m (1hr 48)
- Helen; Run 12.3 km, +440 m / -1140 m (1hr 42)
- Michelle; Run 14.1 km, +50 m/-520 m (1hr 11) Team total; 7 hrs 3 mins - 43rd out of 73 mixed teams. (see www.swissalpine.ch/frame/frame1_e.htm for info) This race took only seven hours. In comparison, the fight against cancer lasts many months or years. Cancer Research UK support the work of over 3,000 scientists, doctors and nurses working across the UK. Their annual scientific spend is more than £213 million, which is raised almost entirely through public donations. Their research is shared with specialists world-wide and benefits everyone who has to combat cancer. The reason for supporting Cancer Research UK was never more apparent than in 2002 and 2003, when Michelle was given a wonderful extra year with her mum, Irene; a year that would not have been possible without their research. If you'd like to see further details, please visit http://19september2003.strawberrypost.com Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor us: Cancer Research UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you. Many thanks for your support, Andy, Matthias, Richard, Helen and Michelle.
