<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p><strong>Why am I riding a bicycle from Winchester to Eastbourne?</strong></p> <p>Last year, one of my neighbours' daughters was diagnosed with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukaemia.&nbsp; She has undergone a year of chemotherapy and has another 18 months of treatment ahead.</p> <p>Throughout her time spent at the The Royal Marsden Hospital she has received outstanding care.&nbsp; Her parents, Kirsty and Andrew, have a simple aim - to raise &pound;20,000 for the continuing work of the children cancer research department of The Royal Marsden Hospital.</p> <p>Over the weekend of the 23rd/24th June 2012, as part of a team of cyclists of varying levels of: fitness, offroad experience and fashion sense, I will be cycling the South Downs Way from Winchester to Eastbourne (over 100 miles in distance, with ascents totalling over 11,500 feet) in order to help raise a team total of &pound;7500.</p> <p>Please support me through what looks like a tortuous venture (see the route profile here: http://www.bikedowns.co.uk/Profile%20All.htm#ProfileAll ) by donating generously.&nbsp; If you are able to Gift Aid your donation - even better.</p> <p>Thanks,</p> <p>David</p> <p>Some words from JG:</p> <p>Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure.
