Thanks for visiting my fundraising page.

It's nearly that time of year again when I don my lycra and cycle from Bristol to Exmouth overnight!

The gruelling 100 mile ride should see me accompanied by around 200 fellow Insomniacs all heading for a well earned greasy fry up at the Harbour View cafe on Exmouth Beach.

After your generosity last year helped raise over £400 for the RNLI, this year my chosen charity is the Gurkha Welfare Trust.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<_____>>>>>>>>>>>>>

For nearly 200 years the Gurkhas have helped to fight Britain's wars and keep the peace. They have won 13 Victoria Crosses and served in most of Britain's conflicts during that period.

If there was a minute's silence for every Gurkha casualty from World War 2 alone, we would have to keep quiet for two weeks. But silence will not help the living, the wounded and disabled, those without military pensions following World War 2 service or redundancy, or those left destitute by ill health or natural disasters. With their dependants, they number many thousands. They live in often harsh conditions, with no national health service, no public housing and no unemployment benefit.

£240 sponsors a veteran for a whole year.

Donating through Justgiving is quick, easy and totally secure. It’s also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Gurkha Welfare Trust gets your money faster and, if you’re a UK taxpayer, Justgiving makes sure 25% in Gift Aid, plus a 3% supplement, are added to your donation.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks
