My story

Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.

We have set ourselves a challenge of completing the LONDON - PARIS Bike ride which starts on the 13th June 2012. Leaving Blackheath Common at 7am we will cycle through London, Kent and the North Downs to Dover where we will get a ferry to Calais. The following days will take us through Arras, Compiegne and into Paris ending down the Champes-Elysees to the Eiffel Tower. We will be cycling for 4 days and covering approximately 300 miles

With both of us (Claire & Dorro) working on the Children's Renal Unit at Nottingham Children's Hospital, we get to meet so many Children, Young people and Families who are inspirational!

Living with a long term Health condition such as Renal Failure is a challenge for any one, and the KINDER APPEAL is a fantastic charity which funds a variety of things from residential holidays, respite care, research as well as supporting activities that take place within the hospital.

All money raised will go to the KINDER APPEAL which is part for the Nottingham Children's Hospital Charity, to continue to support the fantastic work that it does.

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving – they’ll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they’ll send your money directly to the charity and make sure Gift Aid is reclaimed on every eligible donation by a UK taxpayer. So it’s the most efficient way to donate - I raise more, whilst saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

So please DIG DEEP and DONATE NOW!
