Dear Friends, Family and Supporters, business and alike.

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page.

My challenge
I will be cycling from the foothills of Machu Picchu 3,400m, with a gruelling 3 day climb through the Andes mountain range and down to the Amazon Rainforest, a total of  321kilometers. All off- road, rough terrain, in November. I know it's seems eons away but the challenge for me starts now, so please dig deep and help me raise my target for my chosen charity.

Why Home-Start, 
I have been working closely with Home-Start head office for a number of years, delivering creative deisgn and ideas to their marketing team.

About Home-Start,
By supporting Home-Start you are helping struggling parents give their children a better start in life. Family life can be hard and challenging for many parents. Loneliness, relationship breakdown, bereavement, physical and mental illness or even multiple births can have a profound effect on families. With your help, Home-Start can be there to help parents cope, to help them towards independence and a better future.

Home-Start depends heavily on donations from companies, charitable trusts and people like you to fund our work with parents and children.  www.home-start.org.uk

Everyone needs help at some time in their life...so go on, help us to make a difference to a child's life today.

Making a donation is easy peasy and totally secure,
Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Home-Start UK will receive your money faster and, if you are a UK taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

Please share this secure web-link with as many of your business associates, friends and family as possible.  Just 150 donations of £30 will ensure my fundraising thermometer is ... pushed off the scale!

Being a part is more than just taking part … by supporting my challenge in terms of your sponsorship generosity is a fantastic way of making a real difference. Thank you.
