Story

<p>Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.</p> <p>A friend and I decided after&nbsp;an evening out&nbsp;that we'd like to cycle from John O Groats to Lands End, on a route of some 950 miles in 9 days. Amazingly we actually stuck to it and are almost fit enough. I started carbing up for the event about 10 years before i decided to do it so should have enough fuel in reserve.</p> <p>Rather than just do it for the sheer pain I've decided to raise money for Vision Aid Overseas (VAO), as part of Essilor Ltds drive to support VAO in raising &pound;40k to establish a new vision centre.</p> <p>For details on the excellent work that VAO do, and why they do it, please follow the link below.</p> <p><a href="http://www.vao.org.uk/">http://www.vao.org.uk/</a></p> <p>The event takes place between June 11th and June 19th 2011.</p> <p>Appreciate that times are tight but please do dig deep and help us raise money for this fantastic cause.</p> <p>Thanks</p> <p>Tim</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;</p> <p>So please dig deep and donate now.</p>
