Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Girlguiding UK aims to give opportunities to all girls and young women, regardless of their situation. In our Centenary year, 25 of us leaders are cycling from Paris to Geneva in 4 days (around 80 miles a day) to help our disadvantaged young members realise a dream. It may be a new waterproof coat or suitable shoes to attend a sports event, or transport to an activity day, or someone to help them try something new.

We did it! 358 miles in total. The 1st day getting through Paris in the dark morning rush hour, on the wrong side of the road was HAIRY! The hotels were basic but provided food and a shower and a bed - that was all we needed. The 3rd day had more ups than downs with regard to gradients, as well as team spirit and general enthusiasm. The 4th (last day) was very challenging especially the 8 miles uphill to get to lunch, but the 10 miles down into Geneva was AWESOME. I reached 34 miles an hour - on a bike - WOW!

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 please dig deep and donate now.
