Dear Friends

On the 17th September I will be riding a bicycle from London to Paris over the course of 3 days covering around 300 km.

I am doing this to draw your attention to Greenhouse.  This charity empowers young people ( ages 11 to 16 ) through sport and performing arts, helping them to overcome adversity and achieve their goals.
For more information on this charity please go to www.greenhousecharity.org

I would like to stress that this trip to Paris is not what I call a "charity holiday" .  I will be funding myself throughout the 3 days so every penny you donate goes to the charity.

Huffing and puffing and pedalling around 70 miles per day is not my ideal mode of transport to Paris - sipping a chilled glass of wine whilst enjoying the view out of the train springs to mind  - however I have decided to take on the challenge.

I have therefore spent the summer running over moors and pedalling up and down glens preparing for this event.  I do believe Greenhouse is a most worthwhile charity and I will be thrilled if I achieve my fundraising goal of £5000.  I will be ecstatic if I exceed this goal !

In order to give myself the best chance of getting there in reasonable shape I will not be drinking on the way. You can be sure the first glass of chilled white upon arrival will not touch the sides !

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.

If you prefer to donate off line please send a cheque made out to:

‘Greenhouse’ and send to:

The Old Rectory
Milstead
Sittingbourne
Kent ME9 0SA

Thank you for your support for Greenhouse
