<p>Dear Friends</p>
<p>thanks for clicking on my site which means so much to me because without your support for the Charity I am doing the London to Paris Cycle for, I would not be able to complete the 300 miles long ride which I have to cycle in 4 days.</p>
<p>As most of you know the desire to experience this difficult task is in memory of my dear friend Elaine who was taken away from us because of this terrible disease so few people know about.</p>
<p>Mesothelioma is a cancer caused by inhaled asbestos fibres.It is considered one of the most challenging of all cancers. Few people survive more than a few years once diagnosed.</p>
<p>Elaine was for me one of the most strongest, warmest and caring person I have met in my life and it was more than a privilege to have had her as my best friend and till today I am missing her so much but nothing can bring her back. Her strength and determination, even during her illness and last days of her life are still an example for me and she will always have a special place in my heart. She is my motivation to undergo this physical task and raise money for this charity so close to my heart.</p>
<p>My family and I have decided to pay for all my expenses for this Bike ride so that every penny or pound you are able to donate will go straight to the Charity without any deduction.</p>
<p>Please help me to raise as much money as possible and once again thank you for supporting me.</p>
<p>Love Cordula</p>
