Story

Welcome to Ali and Damo's JustGiving page, thank you for taking the time to visit us. I'm sure by now many of you visiting the site will have heard tales of our epic trip planing to cycle nearly 1100 miles from Leamington Spa to Barcelona in just 11 days.

We are looking for you to help us raise money for the Myton Hospice Charity who improve the lives of 100's of people effected by terminal illnesses each year. The Hospice work tirelessly to provide support to those suffering with terminal illnesses, their closest friends and family members and all those affected as they battle through very tough times.

Myton Hospice Communications Officer Sara Fenton said: “This sounds like an amazing challenge and we are very grateful for the support.

“We need to raise more than £6.1 million a year to keep our three hospices open and every penny counts. We would like to wish Alasdair and Damian good luck for their adventure and thank them again for helping us.”

Our trip begins in Leamington Spa, where, at 9AM on Saturday 7th August 2010 we begin this epic journey. We will be peddling across 3 countries, making our way through the south of England, an overnight ferry see's us arrive in France. 100 miles a day down through France will see us arrive at the foot of the Pyrenees Mountains. We will endure climbs of almost 1500 metres before crossing the border into Spain where after 11 days we should, all being well, arrive tired and in need of a beer in Barcelona after almost 1100 miles of cycling.

Please give all the money you can to support us, in our trip to raise £5000 for the Myton Hospice. A million and one thank you's for anything your can give. 

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 please dig deep and donate now.

Many thanks to John Atkins Cycles in Leamington Spa who have been amazing at helping us with this trip and sponsoring us along our way.
