My personal message:

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page (again) and to everyone who has made a donation so far. Please ignore the event date above, that is when I was originally supposed to ride . . the new date is 3rd September 2008!

As some of you will know, I was unable to take part in the challenge as originally planned. Due to an altercation with an articulated lorry whilst training, I fractured a vertebra and was unable to mount my trusty steed until nature took it's course and my broken back recovered. 

Unfortunately this was not the end of it, surgery on my lower back was required and underwent last August.  Recovery from this double trauma has been been bumpy and long, but I'm back on the bike and the miles are starting to clock up again!

Fortunately I have been able to secure a place on an identical challenge departing 3rd September 2008 (only a year late). I doubt I'll be as fit for the challenge as I was last year, but I am sure I can make it, so for those of you who haven't already, this is your chance to make a donation to a very worthy cause! 

Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Virginia Keiley Benefaction 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.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
