France charity cycle trip · 24 April 2008

We're Children's Hospices Across Scotland (CHAS). We care for children throughout Scotland with life-shortening conditions and their families. We make sure that no matter how short their time together may be, it is filled with happiness. Even in the pain of grief, we're determined that joy lives on.

Story

Thank you for visiting my fundraising page. Please contribute a little and sponsor me online.

Ron Mackinnon came up with the mad idea of some inexperienced middle aged cyclists doing a North to South cycle trip through France, a distance of approximately 850 miles or so. This didn't seem like a good idea until he pointed out that we could raise money for The Chidren's Hospice Association Scotland. I think he got the sort of idea from Ewan McGregor and Charley Boorman.

I can tell you that 6 such mad individuals have signed up so there will be some good company on the way.

We leave on 24th June and will cycle from Dunkirk, down the Eastern side of France via places like Dijon and Macon, to Capestang (between Montpellier and Perpingnan). This will involve cycling around 70 miles a day (with 3 rest days). 

For up to the minute news of the trip and preparations why not visit our blog site at;  http://francecycle2008.blogspot.com 


Donating through this site is simple, fast and totally secure. It is also the most efficient way to sponsor me: Children's Hospice Association , (CHAS) will receive your money faster and, if you are a taxpayer, an extra 28% in tax will be added to your gift at no cost to you.

So please sponsor me now!

Many thanks for your support.
