My story

 

Dear All

Hello my name is Peter Lofthouse I am 24, an enthusiastic and commited outdoor educator working in The Lake District in the United Kingdom to pass on my skills and knowledge to young people. I enjoy canoeing rock climbing and climbing mountains and have become a very passionate Unicyclist. I can often be seen enjoying the local scenery riding my unicycle over the local fells and around Grizedale Forest. 

I would like to take this opportunity to invite you to help me partake in the challenge of a lifetime.

In June next year I will be Unicycling (yes that’s one wheel) with a group of enthusastic unicyclists from Nairobi in Kenya to Dar es Salaam on the Indian Ocean coast in Tanzania. This is a total distance of 550km. This exciting journey is being arrnged by Escape Adventure

Along the way we will visit local rural schools to give them educational materials and stationary.

I am doing this to help raise money for charity

The charity I have chosen is Asthma UK, as a long time sufferer of asthma I want to demonstrate to others particualry asthma sufferers and their families just what can be achieved by a  fit and healthy well controlled asthmatic.

I am looking to raise money to help the research done by asthma UK and to help cover the costs of this expedition So am looking to raise up to £10,000

Asthma UK spends approximately £3 million each year on research to help those suffering from asthma

For more information you can email me on peterlofthouse@hotmail.com or send mail to Flat 6 The Old Vicarage Far Sawrey Ambleside LA22 0LQ  Or visit www.justgiving.com/unicycle_africa

Thank You for taking to time to read this and I hope you will help support this amazing opportunity.

Every 19 minutes a child is admitted to hospital because of asthma. Every seven hours, another person dies from an asthma attack.

Asthma UK is committed to fund research today to bring about breakthroughs that could save lives tomorrow.
