Dear All,

If you'd like to see the photograph to which everyone refers please click on "Photos (3)". Unsurprisingly none of them are great ! Regardless of the mug shots, once again I find myself a sucker for a challenge as a result of a weak moment... I am telling you this in the hope that you will help me reach my target of £6 000 by donating ludicrously large sums of money or if that's a little more difficult, any amount you feel would be appropriate!

So, 5 days in the saddle, 576 kilometers up the east coast of Ireland and across to the east coast of Scotland, in March- insane!  However, this is all for the great causes of Sport Relief and the Dallaglio foundation. All the details of who's riding which stage and details of the charities can be found at www.dallagliocycleslam.com . Please have a look (I am riding the last stage (5) from Rosslare to Edinburgh via Dublin and Belfast).

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 if you can, please dig deep and donate now! I'd really appreciate it and most importantly so will the causes I'm riding for!

Many thanks.

Best wishes,

Adam.
