Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

Hello.  My name Richard. 

I am 40 years old, married with 2 children, work at a Papermill and am a Retained Firefighter.

On Monday July 19th 2010, I will be setting off from Carnoustie Golf Course (Scotland) on my bicycle and will cycle to and from all of the current Open Championship Golf Courses with the added bonus of playing the 1st hole on each course, finishing on Friday July 30th 2010 at Royal St George's (Kent).   I will be supported along the way by my 3 brothers.

I have raised money for my 3 chosen Charities in the past and feel they are all worthwhile causes;

Cancer Research - World's leading independent organisation dedicated to cancer research.  http://www.justgiving.com/TheOpenRoadChallenge-CancerResearchUK

British Heart Foundation - Organisation dedicated to research, supporting and caring for Heart patients and their families.  http://www.justgiving.com/TheOpenRoadChallenge

Naomi House - Childrens hospice supporting young people with conditions that mean they are unlikely to live to become adults.

Thank you for your support.

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.
