Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page!

Overview

Oh no I hear you scream. Not another Just Giving donations page. Sigh. Well yes it is.. sorry but me and my brother, James Mattocks hate cancer, we hate it with such passion that we are going to ride 40+ miles and take part in the Cycle Unite event at York on the 27th September. An event to raise money for Cancer Research UK to help eradicate this horrible nasty, evil, vile (you get the picture!) disease. 

So yes it is another page to try and extract some of the goodwill from your wallet/purse to people that can help make a difference.  Surprisingly goodwill doesn't buy tools and equipment from profit driven corporations, people who do the work need to eat - one day we will all live in utopian society where we all work together for the good of humanity and greed will be eradicated and all resources evenly shared... but well lets just say we aren't quite there yet... :) So we need to do things like this....and the goodwill you must elect to support us with must come in the form of hard cash (well actually credit cards etc but hey lots not split hairs here eh?!). We know you work hard to earn it and it absolutely will not be wasted. I could ramble on giving statistics about how cancer is affecting more and more people, but I won't. Why? because I do not need to as we have all unfortunately been touched in one way or another by this nasty, vile etc, etc disease. This very fact alone demonstrates how prolific this disease has become and the fact we all need to take some responsibility to trying to find a solution to overcome it and kick its gene mutating ass into the history books.

Details...

Essentially in the event you are free to ride from wherever to the destination at the new Velodrome located in York  (https://www.google.co.uk/maps/place/York+Sport+Village/@53.944025,-0.9947769,13z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x48792e33124fcbeb:0xcea8268598a6d8b4).

We have chosen to ride from Northallerton to York!

It begins... :) The extra hard sell... you've reached here GREAT.. you are one tough hardened cookie to crack!! :) So with all that in mind feel free to donate you generous cancer fighting people... you know you want to... go on... :) In return you will know you have made a difference to the world... especially needed under the era of new Tory reign and future austerities*.

In return you'll give people who have this horrible disease more hope and you'll make us happy knowing that you are helping! :) We can make a difference. And of course we will update the page over the forthcoming months with training pictures - maybe with boys in lycra!!! ;) See.... OK... maybe the last bit isn't going to sell this... but.... hey.... you got to try everything right?... :)

I thank you for reading this far.... And if you donated A BIG BIG THANK YOU (in a font pitch bigger than this web editor kit will support!!!!)

* Sorry not going to get too political here... :)

There you go Thank you for staying around to read this..... Now over to you...  :)
