Dear Family, Friends, Colleagues & Acquaintances,

In a moment of madness, I have taken up the challenge to cycle over 525km from Paris to Geneva in July for a very worthy cause: the London Air Ambulance charity.

This charity provides rapid and specialised care to critically injured people at the scene of the incident, serving the 10 million people who live, work and commute in London every day.

Your donation will enable them to acquire a second helicopter, helping them save more lives on a daily basis.

The challenge: Paris to Geneva via Burgundy and the Jura Mountains; 4 days of excruciating pain, "blood, sweat and tears", followed by weeks of aching muscles.

Please help make a difference with a donation.

Many thanks in advance,

Victoria
