My story

 

Welcome to the Team Buzz webpage!

This summer four brave young men will attempt to conquer that which few have even dared conceive. On Thursday 3rd August 2006 these chosen few will depart from the comfort of Bristol, and journey to the south coast to meet a waiting vessel. This craft will then depart and head due south to the town of Cherbourg upon the Northern coast of  France.

 

Their arrival in will signify the commencement of what will likely be a grueling two week cycle ride down the west coast of the country through La Rochelle and Bordeaux . Upon reaching the Dordogne they will then follow a South Easterly course through Toulouse , eventually reaching their destination of Montpelier and the Mediterranean.

In total the journey will be 850 miles long, and will require immense physical endurance along with astonishing mental stength to complete.

More expansive details will be made available on our own website (to be constructed shortly), however the simple intention is to raise as much money and awareness as we can for the charity C.R.Y.

For more information on the charity please visit the website, http://www.c-r-y.org.uk.  This charity has been chosen for personal reasons, having lost my sister to Sudden Adult Death Syndrome in August 2005. However, it becomes clear upon visiting C.R.Y.’s website that everyone who is associated with the charity has had some personal experience of the affects of the condition, and that likely their awareness of it only came at the expense of a loved one.

We have set our sights high in terms of what we are hoping to achieve and the amount we hope to raise, the minimum being £5000.00. All proceeds will go to the ‘C.R.Y. Claire Dee-Shapland Memorial Fund’. If you feel you are able to make a donation to our cause, then I can assure it would be very gratefully received.

Should you choose to make a donation, you will have the option to be signed up to our email service, which will provide you with weekly up to date information on how the preparations are going for the cycle ride, along with a daily email once the journey is underway. We also hope to be able to include photos within this email showing exactly how we’re getting on.

All amounts are welcome, and we implore people to give whatever they feel appropriate, as all donations are vital in us reaching our target. Once again, thank you very much for your time in reading this letter, and for your valuable support of this worthwhile charity.
