Excited to be joining Team Tortoise in the race against The Hares from Buckingham Palace to Windsor Castle one (sunny) Sunday in October.

I hope you do not mind me asking if you would very kindly consider donating just a token amount in sponsorship of the ride. If you gave £1, 87p would be spent on activities that change young lives and 13p would be spent on the Prince's Trust support costs. Plus if you use Gift Aid, your £1 generates another 25p. It all contributes and I would be hugely grateful.

I'm hoping to be one of the first 200 riders to raise £300 by 31st August (so I can look the biz on the day in a special gold jersey!)

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. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.

Texting your donation is super quick & easy

Type 'TORT90' into your text message, followed by the amount you want to donate, to the number 70070. So, if you wanted to donate £1, you would text 'TORT90 £1' to 70070. Its a speedy way to donate as your donation is automatically charged to your mobile 'phone bill without having to fill in any details at all. You will receive a text after your donation, giving you the option to select gift aid to add 25% at no extra cost - now that's when you do have to fill in your address, but you get to leave a message too. Either way, I'll see who made the donation.

Thanks ever so much for reading this far!
