Thanks for taking the time to visit the Old Farts Bicycle Club JustGiving page.

We are a group of aging friends in the Washington D.C. area who enjoy riding our bicycles long distances for a good cause.  We raise funds for the National MS Society in the U.S. and, for UK-based friends, we raise money for the MS Society of Great Britain.

My mother lived with MS for 30 years and this is one way in which I can help support the charity that may one day help to find a cure for this devastating disease.  

The Old Farts are planning to ride two 100-mile events in 2011, one of which is an official MS ride in the U.S.  We will fundraise for those events in the U.S. as well (if you Google MS Society and Old Farts Bicycle Club, you will find us).

The first 100-mile event is on Saturday June 11th in the very hilly countryside around Middleburg, Virginia. Last year was in the 90s and very humid, so was a considerable physical challenge.

The second is a much flatter 100-miles around the Eastern Shore of Maryland / Delaware in October and our aim is to break 4.5 hours this year.

This justgiving page covers both events - so please feel free to donate what you can to a very worthy cause.

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.

Thank You

Giles and the Old Farts.
